All actors are required to audition.

PARENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE THEATRE AT ANY POINT ONCE THE AUDITIONS BEGIN.

All campers must come to auditions with their selection prepared. An email will

be sent out when audition packets will be ready for pick up at the JPAS office. You must sing a selection from the packet. You may not select another piece.

Campers will be broken into 3 groups. There will be a group on stage to sing for the Director and Musical Director, a group learning the dance audition combo with the Choreographer, and a group on hold taking care of any last minute

things that need to be handled. We rotate the groups until each group has seen all members of the artistic staff. After this morning session is complete the

Director, Music Director, and Choreographer discuss who they would like to "callback." (A callback is when one or more of the artistic staff would like to see

an actor once again. They may be asked to read a scene from the script, sing another song (which we would teach them) or both. A list will be posted in the lobby of who is called back prior to the lunch break. *Please note- sometimes it

is a good thing that an actor is not called back. Sometimes a Director knows where they want to put the actor without seeing them again.* All actors are

released for the day with the exception of those on the callback list. The actors will be given a lunch break and asked to report back to the theatre at a specific time (usually 1-1 1/2 hours later). Parents are allowed to wait for the child in

the lobby only. If you know your child will be absent for the auditions, please contact

Lynne Bordelon in writing with the reasons why your child is unavailable. It is JPAS' mission to give as many children as possible the

opportunity to realize their full artistic potential. We do our best to accommodate families with schedule conflicts on the audition day.

If for any reason a camper misses the audition date, he or she will be ineligible for a principal role.

Entering 8th-entering 12th AUDITION PROCEDURES

There will be a short MANDATORY parent meeting prior to auditions. Please be prepared to stay for a few minutes to get any important information.
