Calling all actors, singers and dancers
September 9, 2009

If you are 10 to 17 years old and have a passion for acting, singing or dancing, the Oshawa
Little Theatre just may be the place for you. On Saturday, Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 12
p.m. the Oshawa Little Theatre Youth Group will host a free workshop on how to audition for
musical theatre. Learn what to expect and how to prepare for an audition. Topics of discussion include, what type of song to choose, where to get sheet music for the pianist, how to ‘slate’ yourself, how to dress, how to ‘project’ yourself, how to choose a monologue and how to show the confidence you need to be successful in an audition.

The workshop is free and samples of sheet music and monologues will be available. It will be held at the Oshawa Little Theatre rehearsal hall. The theatre is also holding an audition for actors, singers and dancers who are 10 to 17 years old. The Oshawa Little Theatre Youth Program will run a series of theatrical and acting skill workshops. These sessions include improve, stage combat, musical theory and vocal exercise sessions. Included in the acting workshops will be eight Masque format-acting sessions. Following the workshops you will have the chance to audition for the musical of the season, Willy Wonka. You must be a member of
the youth group to audition for Willy Wonka.

You must pre-register for the Youth Group Auditions by Sept. 19, 2009. To be a part of either workshop email youthgroup@oshawalittletheatre.com. Those who want to audition for Willy
Wonka, after taking part in the sessions, must send an audition application and a non-returnable photo to the above email address or it can be dropped off at the Oshawa Little Theatre mailbox by the deadline. There will be an information meeting on Saturday, Sept. 19 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Auditions will take place Sept. 26, beginning at 9 a.m. by appointment only. Each participant is required to have prepared one song from a musical theatre genre or a Walt Disney song. The song must be memorized. Each participant is also being asked to have a one-minute monologue prepared.
