Auditions

Location: Auditions will be held at the StarStruck Rehearsal Studios: 42307 Osgood Road Unit J, Fremont, CA

Prepare: Please prepare a 2 minute song from a Broadway style musical (Not from Spongebob the Musical). You will need to provide your own sheet music in a 3-ring binder (be sure it is printed double-sided and has both right and left hand accompaniment lines, not just a vocal line). Pick a song that is appropriate for your age and shows your range (vocal and emotional). Tell us a story through music. An opportunity to run through your song selection with our vocal director on a date prior to auditions is available at no charge. Details on how to sign up will be sent in your audition time confirmation email.

Process:

1. Dance- Actors will be taught a short dance routine which will then be performed together for the Artistic Team. 
2. Vocal- Actors will be called up to sing one at a time. We ask that the Vocal Selection be performed without a mask.
3. Sides- After singing, the actor will be provided with a short side (selection from the script) to read.

What to Bring:

1. Dance/Tennis shoes
2. Clothes you can move in 
3. Water bottle 
4. Sheet music in a 3-ring binder (double sided pages, please)
5. PRINTED and completed conflict calendar (Sent with your confirmation email)
6. A positive attitude!

Ages: You must be 10-20 at the time of auditions. Ages outside of range must get special permission from the Director at MainStage.StarStruck@gmail.com

Rehearsal Conflicts: Please keep conflicts to a minimum. Conflicts will play a significant role in the casting of this show.

Rehearsals: Rehearsals will start on Sunday, September 15.  A specific schedule will be given out after casting. Not everyone will be needed at every rehearsal.

Rehearsal schedule* (Beginning September 15th):

*Actors are expected to be available for all rehearsals, but will only be called if needed.

Tech/Dress Schedule:

Once we move into the theatre, our schedule switches from 4 days/week to 6-7 days/week. NO CONFLICTS PERMITTED ONCE WE’RE AT THE THEATRE. Additionally, it is highly recommended that actors have minimal outside commitments/activities scheduled for the following dates:

If Cast

Fees: Tuition Fee is $850 per actor. First payment is due approximately one week after the cast list is posted. 3-month payment plan is available. Tuition fee covers the cost of costumes, but actors are expected to provide their own modesty clothing, shoes, make-up, and hair supplies. Limited partial and full scholarships are available- apply here. Contact the MainStage.StarStruck@gmail.com for more information.

Family Commitment: StarStruck Theatre expects performer attendance at all scheduled rehearsals. We will provide a weekly schedule with specific call times, but performers must be prepared to rehearse up to four days each week. We also require each family to contribute a minimum of 20 volunteer hours over the course of the production. There will undoubtedly be personal, family, and school events that will need to be missed because of being cast in the show.

Additional optional expenses include purchasing show merchandise and tech dinners.

Any questions: Contact the StarStruck office at MainStage.StarStruck@gmail.com or 510-659-1319.
