Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence... and special powers! She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!

To Sign Up:

  • Fill out the Audition Form to request a time slot. You will receive an email back from us confirming your time :)

Audition Requirements:

​Students should prepare two things to audition:

  • A piece no longer than one minute from any song in the show to be performed without music 

  • We will have scenes prepared for all auditioning students to perform in the audition room and that can be read and practiced when your student arrives

A playlist with all possible audition songs is linked below :)

At Auditions:

  • ​Auditions will be held at 161 Davis Road in Bangor

  • There will be paperwork that must be filled out prior to your student's audition

  • Be sure to arrive a little earlier than your scheduled time to fill out paperwork and give your student enough time to rehearse the audition song

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

What to Expect:

  • ​Auditions will be at 161 Davis Road on Saturday, April 25th from 2:00-5:00pm

  • Auditionees will be expected to stay for the entire audition time

  • Parents/Guardians will need to come inside to fill out paper work before auditions can begin, but are free to leave once all filled out

  • There will be a $75 deposit due for your student to receive their script after their audition. This deposit must be given to Grace & Lyrica and can be done by cash, card, or a check made out to Shining Stars LLC

  • We will give everyone a chance to perform their character song(s) before moving onto cold reads for each character

  • Depending on how many people show up and how much material people want to audition with, we may end auditions earlier than scheduled!

To Prepare:

​Each auditionee needs to prepare at least one character song from this list:

  • Ren McCormack: "I Can't Stand Still" and "I'm Free"

  • Ariel Moore: "The Girl Gets Around"

  • Willard Hewitt: "Mama Says"

  • Rusty: "Let's Hear It For The Boy"

  • Urleen/Wendy: "Somebody's Eyes"

  • Chuck: "The Girl Gets Around"

  • Shaw: "Heaven Help Me" 

  • Vi/Ethel: "Learning to Be Silent"

  • All Other Roles: Any of the above songs 

    • Any person of any gender identity or presentation can audition for any of these characters as well as prepare any of these songs to best showcase their abilities​

**People of all identities (racial, ethnic, gender, etc.) are more than welcome to audition for any role and will be considered with the same level of fairness. We're more focused on showcasing the talent of our performers and not casting to any preconceived expectation of any characters.

 

Specific lyrics and rehearsing tracks can be found in our audition folder linked above! We have specific cuts of each song that we would like to hear everyone perform, so please only prepare what is asked of you :)

​

Not every auditionee will be asked to join us at callbacks, but everyone should look over callback expectations in our "Audition Information" document in our rehearsal folder and be familiar with all selections
