About the Audition Process
|
First and foremost: RPL auditions are designed to be fun and empowering experiences for kids of all ages.
We see auditions as an opportunity to get to know each child, and connect with them 1:1 to celebrate their individual personality. We love seeing returning RPL performers come back with expanded confidence with each audition! We also love welcoming new kids and getting to know them in a safe and encouraging environment. When it's a child's first audition experience, we go out of our way to make it an ultra-positive one! |

* Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis via this online registration form.
* Audition times are conveniently scheduled before and after our Free Workshops on Feb 2 & 4.
* Attendees to the Free Workshops will be welcome to audition after those who have signed up are complete. If you want to guarantee a timeslot, we recommend signing up to audition ahead of time.
* Siblings can share a timeslot, but keep in mind that the 15-minute timeslot is firm.
* Parents can be in the room while children audition or not - it's up to the child's preference.
* Parents will be sent online paperwork to review prior to auditions, to be submitted at the time of audition. Parents are welcome to ask questions during the audition slot, or can email Marney at any time.

Preparing for the Audition
* To prepare, we simply ask each child to sing. It can be absolutely any song!
* We have compiled some of the songs in a collection of One Star Apart excerpts for kids who would like to sing a song from the show, but this is not required at all. At the bottom of this page are a few songs from the show.
* Kids can sing with a backtrack, or sing a cappella (without accompaniment.) If you plan to use a backtrack, please have it ready to play on a device (such as the parent's phone.) Backtracks from the One Star Apart material will be available if you'd like.
* Kids may be asked to read a short piece from the script (non-readers can "echo back" lines), but this is not necessary to prepare ahead of time. We do have quite a few non-singing roles, so kids who are more interested in acting than singing are very welcome!
* If a child is interested in participating but is not comfortable singing or reading/speaking by themselves, please don't worry! Sign up for an audition and we'll just have a conversation. Definitely don't pressure for any kind of preparation - it's fine to show up, just as they are!
* If needed, callbacks will be held via Zoom during the weekend of Feb 4. Callbacks might be used if I feel like I would like additional time with children under consideration for some roles.
* A word to "RPL veterans": We encourage you to use this opportunity to show us something new...perhaps a side of your singing voice that we haven't heard on our stage, or a type of character that is new for you. You already know that our auditions are fun and easy, so take this chance to stretch yourself outside your comfort zone. You might stretch yourself to learn one of the songs from One Star Apart and experiment with developing a character. A well-prepared song in auditions that demonstrates your at-home effort definitely makes a difference....for us, and for you!

Synopsis of One Star Apart
The Story: A group of astronauts lead spaceship mission, taking some important people to visit the construction site of a vacation resort that is orbiting the moon. The passengers don’t get along very well and find it difficult being in such close quarters with one another. They have an accident in space, and half of the ship is sent back to earth on auto-pilot, but the other half is pulled into a wormhole.
The passengers land on a planet named Quen, and are stunned to find that it has breathable air and is populated by a species with whom they can actually communicate (the Quentians have watched “Earthan TV Shows” which taught them our language and culture.) The two civilizations are very different from one another and at first there is a lot of distrust and fear amongst them. The Quentian Leader says that the Earthans must help them complete a mission to save the entire universe from being destroyed by the Dark Matter. But can these two very different species find enough common ground to work together and save the universe?
