(*The late fee of $10 now applies.)

• If a student meets the height requirements but is not in the specified level to audition for a role, they are eligible to audition anyway.
• A change to the 2012 Audition Packet: the minimum height for the Mice is 4’ 2” not 4’ 4”.
• Your child must arrive promptly 30 minutes before the designated audition time for the particular role(s) for which they are auditioning.
• Please check height requirements and measure carefully. Students will be expected to audition for all roles for which they are eligible.  Students will be re-measured at check-in.
• Children who are eligible to audition for more than one role and will be auditioning past 11:45 am will be asked to stay in the building to eat lunch. (Please send your child to the audition with a nutritious and tidy brown bag lunch, if applicable.)

The audition will be held at the Downtown Studios:
