Required Musicianship Check: To be included in your individual audition timeslot.
Auditionees will be tested in the following areas: ear test: recall (3-5 notes), pitch matching (3
notes), sight reading (3 measures)
Required Interview: Please take a look at the rubric for the total audition and familiarize
yourself with the expectations for this production in the areas of COMMITMENT, WORK
ETHIC, RESPONSIBILITY, ATTITUDE, and INTEGRITY. You will be asked 1-2 questions
regarding these areas during your individual audition.
Callback:
Vocal callback material is available now outside the PCHS choir room by the theatre callboard.
Reading callback material is also outside the PCHS choir room by the theatre callboard, at
www.pinecreektheatre.org, and on the Thespian Facebook page. You may or may not be asked
to sing these songs on 11/29. You may also be asked to sing initial audition music again on
11/29. There will be 30 minutes to work with other characters who are called back to sing/act
with prior to performing your callback on 11/29. Know your part; you may not get to work with
everyone. It is to your advantage to learn callback music for multiple roles, put the odds in
your favor for attaining a role.
Preparation for roles: It is not enough to just sing the song assigned to a character. If you are serious about obtaining a
role, you should stage the song as the character when you perform, no matter which role you are
hoping for. It is also necessary to do this for the callback music when you are singing with
another person, to the best of your ability in the time given. You will want to consider how the
character would perform the song. Standing and singing as yourself is NOT to your advantage.
There will be many students trying to obtain these roles and it is best to show the directors what
you are capable of doing with a role; how else will they know?
If you are interested in roles beyond the musical selections provided, you must incorporate how
you see the other character(s) you are interested in into the music you are assigned to sing.
