HOW TO AUDITION
~PRINCIPALS~
Those who are trying out for one of the principal roles in the show must audition preferably on Sunday June 11th; both singing (something in English and preferably from a G&S show) and doing one or more readings. Remember to bring sheet music for our accompanist.
To offer additional opportunities to auditioners to win a principal role in our show, and to make sure that we have coverage for each such role in case someone gets sick, we try, whenever possible, to double cast all our principal roles. If you are double cast in a principal role, you are required to perform in chorus in those performances in which you are not performing in your principal role.
~CHORUS~
Those who have performed with us in the past are welcome to join our men’s or women’s choruses and need not audition. If you have performed with another G&S group or performed as a principal or in the chorus of other opera, musical theater, or in a choral group are also welcome to join men’s or women’s chorus without auditioning. REGARDLESS: If you are going to be in our chorus, we still ask you to complete our audition form so that we are aware of your intention to join chorus, have your contact information, and additional information about your vocal range and performance experience.
Please complete this audition form and hand it in at the front desk when you come for your audition on June 11th or Jun13th or if you are joining our chorus and not going to be at one of the auditions mail it to:
CG&SS,
P.O. Box 303
