Audition Requirements
Members of Equity and ACTRA please note that as FRC produces shows on a volunteer, recreational basis, we will not pay any professional association fees, such as the fees stipulated by Equity's Amateur Guest Artist policy, under any circumstances whatsoever.
Please come prepared to perform:
- 90 seconds to 2 minutes of a golden age musical theatre song.
- a short storytelling assignment. For those that prefer the traditional route, this can be done through a monologue. However, you can alternatively choose to tell a short personal story. The goal of this portion is to get a sense of who you are as both a performer and as a storyteller.
Please note that the audition will also include a vocal range test, as well as a group dance call at the end of each block.
Please upload a backing track or be prepared to provide one in person. No acapella auditons accepted, and no pianist will be available.
***PLEASE NOTE: Thursday auditions will NOT be held at the same location as this page and any emails you receive state. They will be held at 1-4619 6 St NE***
Rehearsals
Rehearsals will be held on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7-10 PM and Saturdays from 1-5 PM starting on Saturday September 21st. Location of rehearsals will be confirmed at a later date.
PLEASE NOTE: For the week prior to opening (i.e. beginning Sunday January 5th), please expect a rehearsal or other activity on each day.
Run Dates
January 10th - 25th 2025, Victor Mitchell Theatre - Pumphouse Theatres
