Callbacks
What are Callbacks?

• A second audition, or Callback, is administered to cast principal roles, featured dancers, and clarify ensemble casting.

• Being called back does not ensure being cast.

• Many students are cast who are not called back. 

• Overall, the callback will incorporate the same movement and music learned at the first audition.

• Yet, look forward to learning additional movement, music, and speaking parts that may be presented solo or in small groups.

• All audition materials are provided.

• Please wear clothing and shoes that are suitable for movement, but allow for your confidence and style to shine through.

• Callbacks are closed to parents/guardians/visitors. This is to lighten the stress for those auditioning.
