Audition Preparation
Select a time slot on the SignUpGenius site
Review the character descriptions
Bring the following:
Completed audition form
Completed Conflicts sheet
Photo or headshot
Theater resume
Proof of Covid vaccination
Music instructions:
Be prepared to sing a short verse and chorus from a song in the style of the show, but not from Pippin itself. Choose a section of the song that best shows off the character for which you're auditioning; the big finish might be best for this.
Bring a copy of the music for the accompanist.
Do vocal warmups before you arrive; we will briefly check your range but won't do a full warmup in front of everyone.
Bring shoes to dance in and familiarize yourself with the movement sequence. All actors will participate and we will also teach it more fully during auditions.
Callbacks
Callbacks will include featured dancers and actors for lead roles (you may be called back for more than one possibility).
Potential Leading Players and featured dancers (including some called back for other lead roles) will learn a dance sequence
Callback music instructions: We will only be casting folks who can read music or can learn quickly by ear, and callbacks will include learning some music from the show. Listening to a recording ahead of time is recommended to get the gist of the songs, but don't feel you have to copy other actors' interpretations nor come in with it all already learned.
Those called back for lead roles will have readings and learn music specific to their parts.
