SPRING 2025 AUDITIONS


When are auditions?

  • Auditions are Monday, December 9 from 6:00-10:00pm. A sign-up sheet will be available when we get closer to December.
  • Callbacks are Tuesday, December 10:00 from 6:00-9:00pm. We’ll post callbacks when auditions conclude on Monday, December 9.
 
What kind of monologue should I prepare?
  • One minute of a contemporary monologue reflecting the style of Our Lady of 121st St.
  • Nothing from Our Lady of 121st St. or Into the Woods.
What should I sing?
  • 16 bars of a slow song or 32 bars of a fast song. Not sure how to determine length? Aim for one minute of music.
  • A song stylistically similar to the music of Into the Woods.
  • Nothing from Into the Woods.

How should I play my music in my audition?
You have a couple of choices:
  1. Submit a YouTube link to your track here and we’ll start and stop your music for you. Make sure you copy the link at the correct place in the video! If you’re going to start at 2:14, for example, your video should link to that starting location.
  2. Bring your track on a personal device so you can start and stop your own music. We’ll provide a 1/8” aux cable. Bluetooth and dongles are not available, so plan ahead and bring everything you need! Again, make sure your track is cued to start at the correct location.
  3. Sing with an accompanist. You can bring your own accompanist or Alex can play for you. If you want to sing with Alex, you’ll need to arrange a time to run your tune with him in advance (some options are below). Remember to bring sheet music and make sure your cuts and changes are clearly marked!
