Spring Musical - BHMS Drama

Announcement:

The Black Hawk Drama program is excited to announce auditions for our Spring musical: The Little Mermaid. We are looking for a talented cast of 40 students to act, dance, and sing in this exciting production. At auditions, all students will rotate through stations where they will sing, dance, and act for the various directors of the play. Together, the directing team will make the difficult casting decisions. 

 

Not all students will get a part in the musical. There are many factors the directors look at when making casting decisions like experience, availability, talent, and overall dependability. Auditioning is a courageous act! Please encourage your child to take a risk and also support the results of their audition and our casting needs.


Students will audition on either Monday February 12th or Tuesday February 13th. Pick up audition materials in the office for more details and follow the instructions on the back.

All grades and skill levels welcome

Auditions are an exciting and challenging experience for everybody involved. Prospective actors auditioning for roles hope to show their best self in order to be in the show. Directors are looking for a balance of talent and experience to create the best theatrical experience for participants and audience members.

Casting decisions are never easy. We weigh a combination of factors as we build our show. Every auditioning student is rated on the following factors:

  • Stage volume
  • Reading interpretation
  • Movement
  • Group interactivity
  • Attentiveness during auditions
  • Schedule availability during rehearsals

Learning to accept casting decisions is not easy, but it’s part of growing up. If you are not cast in a show, don’t let this decision define you: prepare for the next audition. Look for other opportunities to improve your speaking and acting confidence. Also, you can still be involved in the show as a member of the tech crew or as a student director.
