We are excited that you would like to join us for this production! Here are the steps to register:
*Please note that submitting the online registration form does not complete your registration. A member of our Front Desk team will be in touch to complete your registration and reserve your spot on the cast.

Auditions will be Tuesday, March 7th from 4-6pm at Real School Andover.
What to expect on Audition Day:
Auditions are nothing to be afraid of – in fact, they are really fun! One week before auditions, all fully registered cast members will receive their audition materials including songs and scenes as well your Audition Form. This form should be completed before auditioning and asks about things like what experience you may have, what roles you would like to be considered for, etc. Students often audition in groups rather than alone and this gives the Director time to teach each student what auditions look like. Don’t worry – no memorization is necessary and there will be no cuts!
If you have not received your audition materials within the time frame mentioned, please reach out to your Director or Front Desk team.
What to expect with Casting:
Casting will be completed prior to the first rehearsal after the audition and the list will be sent out by email by the Director. It’s important to know that not every actor will receive the role they want, but they will still have their own space to shine in their role and all actors receive a role – no cuts. As part of the Audition Form, students indicate that they agree to play the part they are cast in. We encourage students to keep the role they are assigned as our productions are centered on learning the process of putting on a show and to build performance skills. No part is too small and no role is more important than another.
