Open Auditions – High School Musical – RARE Productions

RARE Productions are holding open auditions for their upcoming production of High School Musical which will be performed at The Kenton this November.

Troy Bolton , the star athlete at a small-town high school, falls for nerdy beauty Gabriella Montez  at a holiday karaoke party. When they return to campus, Troy and Gabriella audition for the upcoming school musical. Meanwhile, the jealous Sharpay Evans conspires to squelch their chances. The two must struggle to make it to auditions while also meeting their existing obligations to the basketball team and the academic decathlon.

AUDITION PROCESS:

RARE hold open auditions so there is no need to book in. Simply turn up any time within the allocated time slot for your age group, sign in and audition! You only need to attend one audition. The person auditioning will go into the audition in groups of approximately 15-20 people of a similar age group where possible (8-12yrs or 13-21yrs). Auditions usually last around 30 minutes and involve singing, dancing and acting. All materials are provided and taught on the day, so there is no need to prepare anything beforehand. Parents are not allowed into the audition room but are asked to stay and supervise their children before and after the audition. A letter will be sent in the post letting you know the outcome of the audition within two weeks of the second audition date. All auditionees will receive a letter whether successful or not.

RARE Productions is a youth musical theatre company that provides opportunities for young people aged 8-21 to perform in full-scale musical productions in professional theatres across the UK. They strive to make being part of a RARE show a great experience for all the cast members. From the very first rehearsal to the last live performance, the emphasis is on team work, fun and friendship, whilst learning new skills and performance techniques.
