*Audition Announcement* Buckeye Community Theatre announces auditions for Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic *Cinderella* Performances: April 28, 29, 30, 2016 @ 7:30 pm May 1, 2016 @ 2:00 pm Rehearsals at Buckeye Elementary School in Medina Performances at Medina High School Middle Stage *Audition Dates:*Tuesday January 26, or Thursday January 28, 2016. *Time:* Children may sign up for one 45-minute time slot between 5:30-9:00 pm *Where*: Buckeye Elementary School Music Room 3180 Columbia Rd, Medina OH 44256 *Audition Requirements:* Please prepare *18-22 bars of music in the style of the show *(please do not sing a song directly from Cinderella), *and a one minute monologue* showing a great example of characterization (i.e., choose something that will showcase your expression and your ability to create a strong character). Bring sheet music with you so our Music Director can provide accompaniment *with clear markings where you will begin and end*, and be prepared to perform your monologue multiple ways. Please memorize your song and your monologue, and do not sing acapella. *Important Notes* - Auditions are open to any child age 6-18. Although this musical has a large cast (30+ children), not every child who auditions will receive a part. - Rehearsals will be Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning February 1 from 6-8pm. Not every cast member will be needed for every rehearsal (except for Thursdays, which will consistently be music rehearsals). As we get closer to the show we will add in Wednesday evenings in April, if needed. - We will ask for all conflicts between Feb 1- May 1 on your audition form. Please bring your calendars with you to fill this section out as completely as possible. Having conflicts will not prevent you from being cast, but it will give the Director an idea of the commitment you can make to the show. *Ready to Sign Up?* To sign up for a time slot, please e-mail the Director, Amanda Zisk, at *amandamarie8@gmail.com <amandamarie8@gmail.com>*. The subject of the email should be "Cinderella Audition - child's name".
