FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR GENERAL AUDITIONS
What if I can't make it to the general season auditions? Can I make other arrangements?
You should mail, email, or drop off a completed audition form with three (3) copies of your resume and headshot.
If I want to audition for straight plays and musicals do I need to schedule 2 auditions?
No, if you want to be considered for straight plays and musicals you only need to sign up for a musical audition time.
If a conflict arises, can I change my audition appointment time?
Yes, there will be a number posted on the confirmation email you receive when you schedule your audition. The number should only be used if you have already scheduled an appointment and need to cancel or change it.
What if there are no more audition times or any open times for my availability?
If you cannot find a time slot to fit your schedule or if all the time slots fill up, please email
auditions@phoenixtheatre.com with a few dates and times that will work for you and you will go on a waiting list.
How early should I arrive and check-in before my audition?
Arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your audition time, with 3 headshots 3 resumes and 3 completed 2010/2011 audition forms.
If I’m running late, what should I do?
You should call the number posted on the confirmation email you received when you booked your audition. It is the same number you should use if you need to change or cancel your audition time.
What should I wear for the first call? What about for the dance call?
Business casual is fine; make sure you are comfortable in whatever you are wearing. NO shorts, flip flops, t-shirts, mini skirts, tank tops, etc.
For movement calls wear something you are comfortable dancing in. No bare feet will be allowed during movement auditions.
Where should I park? Where should I enter the building? Will there be signs directing me where to go?
There are 2 parking lots in front of Phoenix Theatre; either are fine to park in. We do share the parking lots with the art museum, so it is a good idea to arrive early in case there are a large number of people visiting the art museum and theatre.
There will be signs posted directing you where to go.
What should I prepare?
- For Non- Musical (straight play) auditions you should prepare 2 contrasting monologues, no more than 1 1/2 minutes each.
- For Musical auditions you should prepare 16 bars of an up-tempo song; 16 bars of a ballad and 1-1 ½ minute monologue
How many copies of my headshot and resume should I bring?
Please bring 3 copies of both your headshot and your resume and audition form
Will I be expected to move or dance at the first call?
No, there will be a specific movement call after the general auditions.
How strict are they on “16 bars”?
We ask that you do not go over the 16 bars for your songs. There will be a large number of people auditioning and to give everyone the same amount of time we need to keep everyone’s audition at 5 minutes or less.
Is it okay if my monologue goes slightly over the time limit?
Yes, but again please do your best to keep it under 1 ½ minutes. If you go over please know you may be cut off.
When will I hear about callbacks?
Callbacks will be announced throughout the season. We will try to hold callbacks for the first two shows of the season as close to generals as we can. Please check the website for that information.
Who will be in the room when I audition?
Michael Barnard (Producing Artistic Director)
Robert Kolby Harper (Associate Artistic Director/ Cookie Company Artistic Director)
Alan Ruch (Resident Musical Director)
Pasha Yamotahari (Casting and Company Management Consultant)
Other directors and assistant directors for the 2010/2011season may be present as well.
