Bye Bye Birdie: Youth Edition

Ages 12-18

Directors: Priscilla Santana, Hayley Hersey and Shelley Dennis

Auditions: May 18, 5-9pm or May 20 6-7:30. Students do not need to attend both nights.

Callbacks: May 20, 7:30-9. Not all students will be asked to attend callbacks.

Rehearsals: July 14-18, 8:30am-4:30pm, Performances: July 19, 2pm and 7pm 

Rehearsals and performances beginning July 14 will take place at Temple College. Students may be asked to attend pre-rehearsals the week prior to the workshop. These rehearsals will be held at Academie Musique. 

Students will sign up for an hour audition slot via the form coming soon. An email will be sent to you confirming your audition time and will give you additional information about the audition. Additionally, when students sign up for an audition, they will be sent a video of a short dance audition to learn and a link to upload their dance. All auditioning students must submit a dance audition. For the in-person portion, there will be no more than 10 students per audition slot. Students are only allowed one non-auditioning family member in the room. Each student needs to prepare a song to sing for auditions, between 60-90 seconds (see below for song suggestions). Students can sing with a pre-recorded track, bring an accompanist, or sing a cappella. Once everyone has sung, students will be asked to read short scenes from the show.
