The Children's Chorus is a group of acting, singing, and dancing children that will be used throughout the show to aid in telling the story. The children should sound like a choir. All children auditioning will learn a song from the show at the audition and then sing that song both in a group and individually for the creative team. Please listen to the song (from the Joseph cast recording) “Any Dream Will Do” in preparation. No other prepared material is necessary.
*The rehearsal process for the children will be structured similarly to a camp or class on a recurring bi-weekly schedule until two weeks before the performance where the schedule will become more frequent.
Adult rehearsals begin in early November and will be up to three weeknights and 1 weekend day based on cast availability. Please attend auditions with a list of your conflicts from November 1st through January 29th.
