AUDITIONS and INFORMATION
2024 Season
Auditions for GREASE will be February 9th at 6PM and 10th at 9AM and callbacks (by invitation only) will be February 12 at 6PM. Performances will be on May 10, 11 (2 shows), 17, 18 and 19. All ages from 6th grade to adult are encouraged to audition as age will not be the only consideration for filling "high school" roles. Audition and rehearsal location will be at the Red Shield Studio, 3090 Long Beach Blvd., 90807. If you are auditioning for any role that has a solo you should prepare a 30 second (no longer) song to sing. You MUST provide a music track (with no vocals) to be played from YOUR phone. You may NOT perform a song from GREASE but can choose any other song that shows off your range. You will also be asked to read from the script and learn a simple choreography routine as part of the audition. If you are a Hoover, IVA, Hamilton, or Mayfair Middle School student, we will be holding separate auditions at your school. Look for the ad at school.
