WHAT TO EXPECT:
Only auditioners and Green Valley staff are permitted in the studio- no guests, observers, or emotional support humans allowed.
Auditioners may go paperless and fill out our online audition form ahead of time HERE.
Actors that do not submit their form online may still attend and will fill out a form in person.
We will first hear all auditioners sing their selection from the list above.
There will be a short time to change if needed and a few 8 counts of choreography will be taught.  Auditioners will be broken up into groups to perform the choreo for the audition panel.   
We will then assign sides and scene partners for readings- you’ll have time to read through the scene with your assigned partners and will then perform them for the audition panel.
You may be asked to read for a role you aren’t auditioning for to round out a group.  The nature of the script is such that some roles don’t have enough consecutive lines to read for them specifically.  It is not logistically possible to read each auditioner for every possible role you have indicated you will accept, but each auditioner will read at least once.
