Sign Up for an Audition Spot

• Time is limited on the night of auditions. To reserve your audition spot, please complete this simple form.

• After signing up, you will receive a link to the Audition Form, which you can complete any time prior to the audition night. You can also complete the audition form in-person while at auditions, but you may find it helpful to get a head start.

• If you decide not to audition, please use the link in your sign up confirmation email to edit your form accordingly, OR email hello@themarketanderson.org to let us know that you will not be attending.

How It Works

• WHAT TO PREPARE

• Sign up for an audition spot!

• Be prepared to sing 30-60 seconds of a musical theatre song with backing music.

  • Please bring your backing track on (i.e. smart phone or tablet). We will have multiple adapters for you to connect to our speaker.

  • A pianist will not be provided. Backing tracks are widely available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, etc. and offer consistency so you can have your the best audition possible.

  • We strongly discourage a capella auditions.

• Be prepared to list any schedule conflicts you will have during the rehearsal process & performances for the show (April 12 to June 16).

• Be prepared to upload a photo. If you have a professional headshot, great! If not, no worries–any recent photo is helpful for our team.

• Be prepared to either upload a performance resume or describe your performing experience. (No experience is required, but we want to know as much as we can about your background!)

• WHEN YOU ARRIVE

  • Check-in with our team members when you arrive.

  • You will be given an audition number. Numbers are assigned in the order of arrival.

  • The team member will also confirm that we received your digital audition form; if not, they will provide directions on how to complete a form while you wait.

  • If you have time constraints, questions, or concerns, please discuss them with the team member at check-in.

  • At 5:00pm, the production team will welcome everyone, make announcements, and introduce themselves.

  • Then, auditionees will be called into the audition room by number (in the order they arrived) one a a time.

  • When you enter the audition room, you will be welcomed by the team and have a moment to set up your backing music.

    • Note: A capella (singing without accompaniment) is allowed but not recommended.

  • When you’re ready, stand in the middle of the room, and introduce yourself. Example: “Hi, my name is ________, and I will be singing ____________”. (This is called “slating”).

  • After you sing, please remember to grab your personal device used for accompaniment and exit. You are free to leave!

• AFTER THE AUDITION

  • Within 1 week, we will send an update to all auditionees letting them know whether they will be needed for callbacks.

  • Casting can sometimes take quite a while. Some role offers will go out on an individual basis in the days following callbacks, while others could take a few additional weeks. When casting is complete and all roles have been accepted, we will notify those who were not cast, and post a full cast list publicly on social media and on our website. Thank you in advance for your patience!
