Ride the Cyclone Auditions
In this funny, moving musical, six teenagers from a Canadian choir die in a freak
roller coaster accident. Then, they awake in limbo with the chance to return to life.
Initial auditions will be held on Tuesday, September 1st from 6:00PM - 10:00PM in the Lab Theatre.
Callbacks will be held on Friday, September 4th from 6:00 PM - 10:00PM in the Lab Theatre.
WHAT TO PREPARE:
Initial Audition:
Please prepare one 16-32 bar cut of a song in the style of the show. You are not permitted to sing from
the show. An accompanist will be provided. Please make sure your sheet music is marked,
clean, in sheet protectors, and in a binder for the accompanist.
Students will be asked to fill out an intimacy/comfortability form, which in no way
will dictate casting choices. The director asks that you fill it out honestly, because
this will help dictate any blocking/choreography the director can prepare for. Numerous
characters use heavy/harsh language as well, so please make sure to list if this is
something out of your comfort zone.
Callback:
Please prepare all material for each character you are called back for. Please bring
clothes comfortable to move in, as well as dance shoes, as there may be a dance call
following the initial callback.

The Mad Ones Auditions
18-year-old Samantha Brown sits in a hand-me-down car with the keys clutched in her
hand. Caught between a yearning for the unknown and feeling bound by expectation,
she telescopes back to a time before her world had fallen apart. As he relives her
senior year, we meet Sam’s well-intentioned helicopter mother Bev and her high school
sweetheart of a boyfriend Adam, but it’s her painfully alive best friend Kelly that
haunts her. Kelly was everything Sam is not: impetuous and daring. She pushed Sam
to break rules and do the unexpected. When Kelly is killed in a car wreck, Sam loses
not only her best friend but also the part of herself that was learning to be brave.
Now, Sam has to make a decision: Will she follow her mother’s dreams for her, or will
she summon the courage to drive away from it all into a future she can’t imagine?
Initial auditions will be held on Monday, November 16th from 6:00PM - 10:00PM. Location TBD.
