Upcoming Auditions
HEATHERS – Winter 2025
SIGN UP TO AUDITION HERE!
YMTC will be holding in-person auditions for our winter 2025 production of Heathers. Auditions will take place over 2 days: Saturday 9/28 will be singing/acting auditions, and Sunday 9/29 will be a dance call. Auditioners should plan to attend both days to be considered.
Video auditions will be accepted if a student is not able to make it to the in-person date – please note, it is highly preferable for actors to audition in-person so the team can see them at the dance call.
Singing/acting auditions: Saturday September 28, 12pm-6pm at the Live Oak Theater.
Dance call: Sunday September 29, 12pm-4:30pm at the Live Oak Theater.
Video auditions due: Sunday September 29 by 5pm
Callbacks: Saturday October 12, 11-5pm, AND Sunday October 13, 4:30pm-10pm at YMTC’s Aquatic Park Campus.
A role breakdown can be found here. Roles are open to students in grades 9-university. The 3 adult roles of Ms. Fleming, Kurt’s Dad, and Ram’s Dad will be played by adult actors.
WHAT TO PREPARE (Need help preparing your audition? Check out a guide from our Casting Director!)
Singing/acting audition: Please perform a song/cut from a song from a contemporary musical, not to exceed 1 minute. Please bring sheet music in the correct key for you in a 3-ring binder.
Dance call: Please come dressed to dance. Auditioners must attend both the singing/acting audition and the dance call to be considered.
VIDEO AUDITION GUIDELINES
– Please record yourself performing 1 minute of a song from a contemporary musical AND 1 minute of you dancing (this can be recorded from a previous dance performance). Please upload it to YOUTUBE as an unlisted link and paste the link at the end of this form.
Video tips and tricks:
– Please “slate” at the beginning of your video (say your name and tell us what you will be performing).
– Please record using LANDSCAPE mode (horizontal) and do not film with a bright light directly behind you.
– The dance video and the singing/acting video do not have to be recorded at the same time, but please do edit them into 1 video file.
– **Please do your best to film yourself at eye-level and frame your full body so we can see your acting and movement as well as your singing. We are not looking for professionally-recorded videos, but please try to make sure you are in frame and audible so we can best assess your talent.**
CALLBACKS
Saturday October 12, 11am-5pm, AND Sunday October 13, 4pm-10pm, in-person (Saturday at Live Oak Campus and Sunday at Aquatic Park Campus). Actors may be asked to come to one or both days. Callbacks will include reading/singing from the show. If you are called back, we will notify you after auditions. If you are not called back, this does not necessarily mean you were not cast, and we will contact you about our final casting decisions in the following weeks.
REHEARSAL/PERFORMANCE DATES and LOCATIONS
A *rough* rehearsal/performance schedule can be found here. Dates will be refined after casting.
CASTING PROCESS/TIMELINE:
– Students who are called back for specific roles will be notified 2-3 days after their audition, or after video submissions are due.
– Role offers will be sent out anywhere from 2-4 weeks after callbacks. After the cast is finalized, all students who auditioned will hear back from YMTC about whether or not they were cast. We ask that students and their families be patient in waiting for a casting announcement, and we promise we will let you know!
