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 the following:
— a 60-90 second audition cut of a musical theatre song. No specific style or genre required, but we are looking for big character choices. We request that you do not sing a song from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
— a short comedic monologue (1 minute max) OR a long form joke
Please note that the audition includes a group dance call at the end of each block. You may also be asked to do a vocal range test as part of the audition.
Auditioners should upload the backing track for their song of choice to the website when submitting their audition information. No acapella auditions are accepted, and no accompanist will be available.
Rehearsals
First readthrough is on Tuesday October 7th, from 7-10 PM.
Rehearsals will be held on Tuesday/Thursday evenings from 7-10 PM, and Sunday afternoons 1-5 PM following that. Rehearsals will be held at FRC's rehearsal space: Unit 1, 4619 6 St NE.
PLEASE NOTE: For the week prior to opening (i.e. beginning Sunday January 4th), please expect a rehearsal or other activity on each day.
