There are four audition songs to choose from, two are for higher voices, and two are for lower voices.
Choose which song (only one) you will use for auditions. While the songs 'with vocal' are good for preparation purposes, auditions will be done with the backing track with no vocals.

Acting Audition Materials
Artistic Director Adam Faw
Email: afaw@ncmcs.org
Choose which scene and which character you want to audition with. It is helpful to find a scene partner to prepare with ahead of time. Memorize your lines; you should not have the script with you. While you only need to memorize one character from a scene, be familiar with all of them, as you may be asked to read another scene later at callbacks.
Feel free to audition with any character you choose, regardless of your gender identity or the character's gender.
If you are doing an acting scene audition, you should only choose one scene/character as your primary scene.

Frequently Asked Questions about Auditions
Q: How do auditions/casting work?
A: There are three separate sections of the audition...Singing, Dance, and Acting. Each section will be scored, these scores help to make decisions about callbacks and casting. Auditions and callbacks will be in person this year (although we will have a virtual option if someone is unable to attend auditions due to quarantine, etc).
Q: Do I have to audition with all three areas (singing/dance/acting)?
A: Everyone is required to audition with at least singing and dance. If you are interested in a larger/leading role, then you will also need to do an acting audition.
Q: Do I have to find my own material to audition?
A: No. At the audition workshops, you will be provided with audition songs (sheet music and tracks), you will be taught the audition dance, and you will be provided with the acting scenes.
Q: Do I have to attend audition workshop to audition?
A: Attendance at audition workshops isn't required, but you will be expected to know what is taught at the workshops, as well as the information that is covered. If you aren't able to attend the workshop, make sure someone is there taking good notes for you.
Q: What if I've never been on stage before, or am not a good singer/dancer/actor?
A: Don't let that stop you from coming out. There are many roles within the show, for many levels of talent/experience. Come to the workshops and give it a shot!
Q: Do I have to be in a Performing Arts Class to audition?
A: No, anyone can audition as long as they are a student enrolled at Pinecrest.
Note: If you are a senior and graduating early, you are not eligible to audition.
Q: Do only juniors/seniors get leading roles?
A: No, someone's grade is not taken into account during casting. If an underclassmen is best for the role, they will be cast.
Q: Does everyone who auditions get cast?
A: Not always. While I wish we could cast everyone who auditions, we cannot have a cast of 118 actors for our musicals. Some years everyone who auditions does get cast. However, some years, we have a larger turnout for auditions, and some people do not get cast.
Q: Does it cost anything to do the musical?
A: We do ask that all students involved in the musical contribute a 'fair share' to help cover production costs that are not covered by ticket sales alone. More information about the fair share will be posted shortly.
