Altoona Community Theatre will hold auditions for "Matilda the Musical" June 24 and June 25 in the ACT Rehearsal Hall at 1213 12th St.
Auditionees 14 and under will audition from noon to 1:30 p.m. June 24 and 5-6:30 p.m. June 25 and auditionees age 14 and over will audition from 2-3:30 p.m. June 24 and 7-8:30 p.m. June 25.
"Matilda the Musical" will be performed Sept. 21-24 at the Mishler Theatre under the direction of Jason Schwartz. Actors must be available for all performances. Availability for rehearsals will be asked at auditions. Please be prepared to list all conflicts from auditions to performance dates.
Enter the rehearsal hall through the back door off of the 13th Avenue parking lot behind Tom & Joe's. The audition holding room will be in the ACT Rehearsal Hall with closed vocal auditions taking place in the ACT Office.
All auditionees should prepare a 24-32 bar cut of a song in the style of "Matilda the Musical." Please do not prepare a song directly from "Matilda the Musical." The song should reflect your vocal abilities and, preferably, the character(s) you are most interested in. Auditionees should provide printed sheet music in the correct key for the piano accompanist. If you do not have a song prepared, you will be taught a short song to audition with.
Auditions will consist of a short movement combination. No specialty dance clothing or preparation is required. After all vocal auditions in your audition slot have concluded, all auditionees will be taught the movement combination in the ACT rehearsal space.
If you are unable to attend general auditions, please contact the ACT office at least one week prior to auditions to discuss scheduling an alternative time with the director.
