Workshop Fee: $295
Scholarships are available. You will have an opportunity to pay the fee, or request a scholarship, during the registration process. The fee must be paid, or a scholarship requested, in order to register for an audition slot. In the event you are not cast, or withdraw your application prior to the cast list being released, your fee will be refunded in full.

Audition Procedures
Due to COVID, our audition process will be a little different.

• You must register in advance for an audition slot, at the link above. You may audition on either night. Please arrive at Finn Hall 20 minutes prior to your scheduled audition time. You will be required to wait outside until you are called in.

• Please bring your completed Audition Form (download) and Conflict Schedule (download)

• When completing your audition form, please be sure you have listed the parts you are auditioning for and the parts you will accept, including ensemble. Listing YES to a role or ensemble and then dropping the show because you are unhappy with the casting reflects poorly upon you, and will be considered in future auditions. If at any point during auditions or callbacks you would like to update your Audition Form, let us know. It is imperative that the casting team has this information before casting the show.

• Be prepared to submit ALL conflicts for the workshop period and show dates. We will cast the show based on submitted conflicts. For those in our Spring session of dance classes, this conflict will be approved and you may participate in both the classes and the production. Any conflicts added after casting may affect your ability to remain in the show.

• Please bring sheet music, double sided and hole punched, in a binder. Mark a section of music 16 - 32 bars long. Be sure that the sheet music has piano accompaniment and not just a vocal line. Your song should be from a Broadway show other than Bring It On. An accompanist will be provided for you.

• Once everyone has sung, we will have dance auditions in small groups.

Callbacks
The callback list will be sent out via email by 12pm on Wednesday, 5/5. Callbacks will be held on Wednesday, 5/5, at 6pm.

We will not be calling back for all roles, so if you are not called, this does not necessarily mean you are not cast. The final cast list will be sent out via email on Friday, 5/7.

Rehearsals
Rehearsals will begin the week of May 9th and will typically be held Sunday-Friday afternoon/evenings and some Saturdays. Not all cast members will be called to every rehearsal. Rehearsals will be longer and later during Tech and Dress rehearsals. Please refer to the Conflict Schedule (link above) as all white spaces listed are potential rehearsal times for the production.

Performances
We do not know what level of restrictions will be in place at the time of our planned performances in July. We will perform in front of a live audience if allowed, and we will also livestream our performances. Livestream access will require a purchased ticket. A DVD recording of the show will also be available for purchase.

Costumes
Most costumes will be provided. The costumer may ask cast members to provide standard items that they may already have, like a white dress shirt.
Cast members will be expected to provide appropriate shoes, socks, and undergarments.

Volunteer Hours
We cannot offer our Mainstage Teen Workshops without the help of cast family members. We ask that each family volunteer for a minimum of 15 hours, including one Annex shift. More info will be emailed regarding volunteering for set creation, snack bar sales, ticket sales, and annex help. If you are unable to volunteer outside of our one annex shift, you may bring items to fulfill your hour minimum.

COVID Safety Procedures

Our workshops will necessarily look a little different as we attempt to create the safest environment possible during the COVID era. The following procedures will be in place, in accordance with current state guidelines:

• All staff, volunteers, and participants will be temperature and symptom-checked prior to entering the building each day. Anyone with COVID symptoms and/or a temperature greater than 100 degrees will not be allowed to participate.

• All participants will be required to arrive wearing a face covering. Face coverings will be kept on throughout the day.

• We will practice social distancing to the extent possible. Social distancing restrictions will be eased for a limited duration for certain activities throughout the day.

• All staff, volunteers, and participants will be required to wash their hands upon entering the building. Hand sanitizer will be available as well.

• Our facility will undergo a complete cleaning and sanitization each day, and high-touch surfaces will be disinfected multiple times throughout the day.

• Some activities will be conducted outdoors to maximize fresh air access.

It is important to note that while we are taking diligent steps to reduce the possibility of COVID-19 transmission, we cannot eliminate this risk.
