Auditioners are also asked to prepare one of the preselected monologues provided prior to the audition. Actors should be very familiar with the monologue, but do not have to be memorized. Auditioners may be asked to perform a cold reading at the audition with other actors in the audition room, if necessary. Audition monologues will be posted on Upright Theatre Company’s website prior to auditions.
Dance Auditions will be held at 11:00am on Saturday, September 28 so please be prepared to attend this portion of the audition in addition to your scheduled audition time. Actors will learn a brief dance combination and perform it in groups. Please bring clothes and shoes that you can move in.

Those who are not called back are still being considered for roles. Song cuts and sides will be made available prior to callbacks. Actors should be very familiar with the selections, but do not have to be memorized. ALL auditioners will know if they are cast by Monday, October 7th.
