Summer Shows - Audition Information
 
Audition Information for Camelot and Into the Woods
 
These two shows will be primarily cast with actors age 14 or going into 9th grade through age 21, however there are a limited number of roles for actors going into 8th grade. 
 
To audition, please prepare 32 bars of a song from a musical theatre show. It can be upbeat or a ballad - whatever you feel shows your vocal skill the best. Bring sheet music for the accompanist. No cd accompaniment or acapella singing for auditions.
 
In addition you may perform a one minute memorized monologue (from a play or movie script) or do a cold reading from the Camelot or Into the Woods script. Please choose the method that you think demonstrates your skills to the greatest advantage (some actors really prefer to use a prepared monologue, others are happy with reading from the script).
 
Dancers who would like to be considered for a featured dancing role in the Camelot chorus can prepare and perform a short choreographed piece, no longer than two minutes. This can be accompanied by bringing sheet music or a cd. Ballet or modern dance preferred.
 
New! Scheduled auditions!
Sign up for a 10 minute audition slot at the following dates and locations:
Sunday, May 3 - Arts Underground, 3pm-6pm
Tuesday, May 5 - Louisville Arts Center, 6pm - 8pm
Friday, May 8 - Arts Underground, 6pm - 8pm
 
To sign up, please send an email to Jeanie Balch indicating your preferred date and approximate time (please put AUDITION REQUEST in the subject line). You will receive a confirmation email within 5 days of your request. Please indicate if you are intending to do a dance audition in addition to singing and reading. Auditioners will be expected to be "ready to go" 15 minutes prior to their audition time. If you need to fill out forms you may need to arrive earlier. CenterStage reserves the right to move you to an alternate day and time if absolutely necessary.
 
Drop in auditions are also available
First come, first served.
Saturday, May 9, Louisville Arts Center, 1pm to 5pm.
Callbacks, if needed, will be May 10-12 (time TBD).
Please continue to check the CenterStage Theatre Company website for the most up to date audition and show information.

Fundraising Group Being Formed
We are developing a small group to create fundraising events and contacts for CenterStage. Though a significant amount of our operational funds are generated from participation fees and tickets, it is not enough to fully fund the full-stage theatre experience you expect from our organization.
 
If you would like to help out, please contact Linda Lee. You can give as little or as much time as you would like to this group.
