Theatre Auditions

With an original new theme every summer, Tri-DAC Theatre encourages students to build a strong set of skills in acting, singing and dancing, as well as improvisation and stagecraft. We incorporate classic theatre productions with history, song and dance to develop an entertaining and educational showcase. Guest artists bring new insights and challenges to the program.  

Audition Requirements

1. A Monologue
   
   A monologue is a speech performed by one person. Helpful information on how to prepare a monologue, along with a variety of appropriate monologues will be sent to you when the completed application is received. You are asked to select a monologue of about one minute to perform from the list. Your monologue should be memorized.
   

2. Choose one of the following. Time constraints prohibit performing both.
   
   A. An Improvisation The improvisation is a scene that you will create and perform on the spot. The judges will provide you with the situation you are to portray. The scene should have a clear beginning, middle, and end. You are to speak as only one character in the given situation. We encourage you to practice improvisational techniques prior to the audition.
   
   B. A Song from a Musical Prepare 16 bars of a song from a musical. Song suggestions from musicals will be provided in your packet that will be sent to you when the completed application is received. Memorize your song. If you choose a song that is different from those listed, you must provide sheet music for our musical director to accompany you. As the focus is on your singing, please do not add dance to your song.
   

3. An Interview
   
   The interview will be a time to share your past and present theatrical experiences and training. We want to get to know you and your expectations for this Tri-DAC arts program.
