If you are hoping to see your name on a future musical theatre cast announcement, auditions for the Musical Theatre Practicum are a good place to start!
Auditions for the 2025-2026 Musical Theatre class will take place on January 29th and 30th from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in Room 276. Students should have a strong foundation in music, acting, and dancing, and are encouraged to maintain these skills through private voice, dance, and acting lessons. For the singing audition, students should prepare 16 to 24 bars of a musical theatre song and bring sheet music, as a cappella auditions and backing tracks will not be permitted. An accompanist will be provided. In addition to the singing audition, there will be a dance call on January 31st from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Students must attend one singing audition and the dance call to be considered for the class. Please check Remind or the theatre call board to sign up for an audition time. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to see Mr. Miller in Room 274. Musical Theatre auditions are open to current sophomores (class of 2027) and juniors (class of 2026) in all conservatories.
Please help the Guild choose from all of the proposed designs. Make your voice heard. This poll is open to students, parents, teachers and anyone who owns (or plans to buy) Theatre Guild merchandise in 2025.
