Hickory Community Theatre
2011-2012 Audition Schedule
(subject to change!)
Auditions are open to everyone! Ethnic diversity is strongly encouraged.
(“Color blind” casting is HCT’s policy, and part of the theatre’s vision.)
Auditionees will be reading from the script. Scripts may be checked out for 48 hours with a $10 refundable deposit. Come to the HCT office to pick one up.
For musicals, prepare a song you like to sing. You may sing any song, from any genre. (Melodic songs like show tunes, church music, folk songs, etc. are better than contemporary pop songs.) Bring sheet music if possible; no recorded accompaniment.
There may be dancing or improvisation as part of the audition. Please dress in clothes you can move in. Please, no flip-flops.
Please look carefully at the rehearsal schedule and performance dates. Being in a show at Hickory Community Theatre requires a great time commitment. If you will only take a larger or smaller role because of your own time concerns,
or if you are auditioning for just the experience, WELCOME!-- but please let the director know your intentions.
ALL ACTORS MUST BE AT ALL PERFORMANCES email pam@hct.org for further information
