More Details about Auditioning:

Theatre productions that are part of MadCAP's School of the Arts are OPEN ENROLLMENT. Everyone who participates gets a part and every part is important to making the whole play great. 

Auditions are a way for us to get to know you, to find out how experienced you are, and to try to balance the cast so everyone has parts that are both challenging and fun for them.  We don’t expect you to be perfect; after all, the focus is on learning about theatre in the most exciting way possible – by doing it! 

ONLY INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR STUDENTS NEED TO AUDITION FOR ROLES IN MAY.  Beginning and Junior students audition on the first or second day of their rehearsal period during the summer.

Auditions are used to make specific casting decisions for the production.  All participants who meet the age requirement and attend an audition are cast regardless of ability or prior experience.  Auditions will take place at 100 N. Hamilton. 

Students who have finished third grade, fifth or sixth grade may audition for advanced placement in the next level of programming.  It is recommended that students new to MadCAP participate in the recommended level for their grade.  However, students who have previously participated in a fully staged theatre production have the opportunity to advance to the next level by auditioning before the program begins.  For example third grade students may audition to participate in the Junior level.  Fifth grade students may audition to participate in the Intermediate level and sixth grade students may audition to participate in the Senior level. When students are accepted into the more advanced levels, they should understand that it is most likely that they will receive smaller roles than the more advanced students in the higher level.  If a student is seeking more experience with speaking roles, then remaining in the grade appropriate level is recommended. Theatre is a community experience and students at MadCAP learn to work with other students of all ages, experience, talents and backgrounds.
