WHAT TO PREPARE >> Please prepare a song that demonstrates your vocal range (32 measures, or 1 minute) and bring a karaoke/instrumental backing track ready on your phone. We have our speaker as well as adapters for USB-C, Lightning, and 3.5mm aux cable. There is no need to bring sheet music/an accompanist/your own speaker.

We will do readings from the script AND learn a small amount of choreography as a part of the audition. We recommend you come dressed for movement and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.

Auditions are NOT timeslot-based and are expected to take the whole 2.5 hours. They will also be done in community rather than individually. You may be released early at the director/production team's discretion. Make sure you sign up using the link above, so we know how many to expect!

What does "TYA" mean?
>>TYA stands for "Theatre for Young Audiences". MTI defines it as "family-friendly, educational musicals with limited cast sizes and abbreviated running times." We have chosen to perform the TYA version of Shrek because its shorter run time is both ideal for the families who will be attending our performances, and helps keep the actors safe while performing outside in the summer heat. The shorter run time also helps us keep rehearsals shorter and more dispersed throughout the week, so we can be more flexible with our actors' busy lives!
