If you audition at a state thespian festival or audition event, you do not need to reserve an audition time with us—you can simply register for an audition through your state thespian organization. Please note that even if you audition for us at an off-site event, the audition will be considered a pre-screen audition and if we would like you to move forward in our audition process, you will be asked to submit a series of video auditions in dance, singing and acting.
