Seeking Young Performers for
THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Auditions will be held from 10am to noon on Saturday, April 16 at PCPA’s rehearsal studios in the Columbia Business Center*. Please arrive at 9:45 to fill out paperwork. The actors will be seen in the order they arrive.
Callbacks will be on Monday, April 18 in the late afternoon/early evening.
Young performers should prepare approximately 60 seconds of a song from a musical. The song must be memorized. Please bring sheet music in the correct key. An accompanist will be provided.
PCPA produces in adherence to Actors’ Equity Association guidelines and Covid safety protocols, and, therefore, we may need to inquire into young performers vaccination status.
