ATTENDANCE                                                                               

Not every participant will be called to every hour of every rehearsal. It is, however, VERY IMPORTANT that participants are able to attend the rehearsal time they are scheduled to be at. Anticipated absences must be noted on the registration form that is sent out after you register. If too many absences are anticipated your child may need to drop from the show (money fully refunded). If absences do occur, participants may need to make up the time missed. 

Tickets are $10.00 and are available for purchase at the door (cash only) or in advance through the front desk at Jam Hops (763-413-0647). Due to limited seating there is a chance we will sell out the performance, therefore, we recommend you purchase your tickets in advance. Tickets sold through the front desk will be held at Will Call. All ticket sales are final. No refunds allowed, however, you may exchange tickets for a different performance. Seating is general admission. Doors will open 20 minutes prior to each performance.

Participants should come to the audition with TWO reads prepared:

1) Monster Read: This read should be memorized. (If you happen to stumble on a line or two, the director will help you get back on track!)

2) Human Male OR Female read: This read does NOT need to be memorized. (However, feel free to memorize it if you'd like!)

1. Come to the audition PREPARED! Practice the script read with a friend or family member until you can express the following points.
2. Read IN CHARACTER! Be familiar with what the scene/song is about and what the characters personality is like!
3. Speak with good VOCAL EXPRESSION! Practice reading in a mono-tone voice (no expression) then with an ANIMATED voice (good expression). Which sounds more entertaining? 
4. Speak/sing with good FACIAL EXPRESSION! Practice in front of the mirror using a straight face (no expression) then with an ANIMATED face (good expression). Which appears more entertaining?
5. Gesture when appropriate. Don't be afraid to move around and express with your body!
6. Speak/sing with good ARTICULATION! Pronounce your words clearly. Pay special attention to the consonants! 
7. Speak/sing with good PROJECTION! Speak/sing with good volume. Pretend that you are speaking/singing to a person in the very back row of the theater.
8. HAVE FUN! Remember that it's FINE if you make mistakes.
