Auditions for West Side Story  will be February 7 at 6 PM and 8 at 9 AM and callbacks (by invitation only) will be February 10 at 6 PM. Performances will be on May 9, 10 (2 shows), 16, 17, and 18. All ages from 6th grade to adult are encouraged to audition. Roles will be available for all ethnicities/cultural backgrounds, however, for the roles of Maria, Anita, and the sharks, we are seeking actors of Hispanic/Latinx backgrounds. Audition and rehearsal location will be at 3299 Walnut Ave. Signal Hill, CA 90755. 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 West Side Story  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. Please attend one of the auditions if you are interested in helping with any backstage opportunities such as costuming or make-up.

 

Rehearsals will be weekly: Mondays and Thursdays from 6-9 PM and Saturdays from 9 AM-1 PM. Please be prepared to list any known weeknight or weekend conflicts. If you are a Hoover, IVA, or Hamilton Middle School student, we will be holding separate auditions at your school. Look for the ad at school.
