SUBURBS AFTER-SCHOOL SKYLINE FAQS
Does my child need to prepare anything for auditions?
No! Skyline auditions are nothing to stress about. What actors should expect on “audition day” (the first day of class) is to move through a dance, song, and line reading so directors can get to know them and match their talents with a great role in the show. No outside preparation (and no prior audition experience!) is necessary! Our directors walk the cast through a very low-stress audition process of learning a dance together, learning a song together which they will sing in small groups, and then reading lines for characters that most excite them in the show. At class 2, all actors will be given a named character and script! My child doesn’t read. What does this mean if they have to read lines? Our directors are great at supporting emerging readers in learning their lines! During auditions, we will use call and response to get an idea of the young actor’s ability to project and create a character. We will do the same in class until the actor has their lines memorized. While all actors should bring their script to every rehearsal, we do recommend that emerging readers work with their families to memorize their lines as soon as possible, so they can really have fun exploring their characters on stage! What will a typical rehearsal look like? Actors will warm up with theatre games or a dance, then move into learning the day’s scheduled scenes, songs, and dances. At the end of rehearsal they will review material from the previous week (in order of show) to prepare for the final performance! What does my actor need to wear/bring? All actors should wear clothes allowing a full range of motion and dance friendly shoes (sneakers or change into jazz shoes). Flip flops/sandals/snow boots are not going to allow actors to do their best footwork! All actors should bring a reusable water bottle. We also ask that, starting class #2, actors bring a three-ring binder for their script and a pencil to make notes. Families will be provided with instructions for assembling a costume at home for the final show. |
