What are call backs?
Often directors want to see a group of actors again. Whether or not you are called back is not an indication of whether you will be cast or not.
Is there a fee for participating?
Unlike many other teen and children's theatre groups, the St. John's Drama Club does not charge a fee for participating in it's performances on top of the $10 per family annunal dues for being a member of the club. However, all members are asked to help offset the significant costs of theatre rental, royalties, sets, costumes, make-up, and other expenses by participating in various fund raising activities.
What should we bring to the audition?
Please bring a completed audition sheet and complete list of conflicts with you to your audition. If you are just joining the drama club or if it is time to renew your membership, please also bring a completed membership form and your $10 per family annual dues.
