LS Stage Works - Auditions (4th-8th Grade)

Auditions

Auditions are reserved for our 4th-8th Grade students interested in performing in this year's production of The Little Mermaid Jr. PK4-3rd Graders interested in performing in the show and 5th-8th Grade students interested in our technical theatre apprenticeship go through a different process.

Warm up as a group
Meet the casting team, and perform in front of their table
Sing your chosen song solo in front of the group
Perform the choreography learned at the Intermediate Performance Intensive or Advanced Performance Lab with several other people
Act in one scene from our production
Watch silently while others audition and give silent applause to support your friends and future friends!
Be asked to read in a different scene or not be asked to read in a different scene
Go home and wait for the cast list to be shared
Have fun!

Prepare for Success at Your Audition!

We're excited to help you put your best foot forward as you begin the audition process. Please review the audition materials below carefully. Auditions will take place on September 26th, and performers will be asked to demonstrate their singing, dancing, and acting abilities.

Audition Checklist

Wear all black. We're taking headshots of all performers at auditions. Wear sneakers for safety.
Please be aware, all students who audition will have their measurements taken the day of the audition.
Please come prepared to sing a one minute portion of a song in the style of The Little Mermaid Jr. Not sure what to sing? For support in selecting a song, specific song choices are listed below.
Submit the Audition Prep Form. You'll provide an instrumental track from YouTube to accompany you while you sing. There should not be anyone else singing on the track. The song must be from a musical. You'll also choose a time that you'd like to audition on September 26th.
If you attended the Fall Workshop, practice the choreography and vocals we learned.
Take your time to familiarize yourself with all Audition Materials (all linked below). We might ask you to sing a little from one of the songs from the production, so spend some time listening to these tracks and singing along. You'll read from one of these scenes, if not more than one!
