Edison Tiger Theatre will have auditions for the upcoming spring musical Addams Family. Auditions will be December 13 and 14 and callbacks will be December 15. All those days will start at 3:45 pm-6 pm. These auditions are open to anyone so if you don’t plan to audition but know someone who might want to audition you should tell them.  

There will be two things for the auditions. Singing and dancing auditions will be happening. For singing have 30 seconds to a minute of a song that you feel displays your best singing. Also, make sure you have a karaoke track link to that song. For the dance auditions please have clothes that you can move in comfortably for dancing. 

You also have to get an audition packet from Ms. Ankrum in classroom D102 and fill it out. This packet also has important dates and information that is very helpful such as cast and characters. You can also go to her classroom and ask her questions about anything or check the Instagram page called @edisontigertheatre for more information about events or plays. There are also drama club meetings every Tuesday at lunch. Those meetings contain a lot of information about events so please attend those meetings if you want to be involved in a lot of drama club activities! 

If you are cast you can expect to be rehearsing and learning choreography and music for a few weeks. The planned show days are April 18,19,20,25,26, and 27 (dates may change if any events come up). So, if you audition, please have those days open in your calendar so you can perform. If you have anything scheduled for those days, please tell Ms. Ankrum beforehand or at auditions.  

Some tips for auditioning:  

1. Rehearse! Practice your song and memorize it. Whether it’s when doing nothing or just singing it in the shower practice it whenever you are free. It’ll help out a lot with being nervous too if you practice a lot. 

1. Take a breath. Everything will be ok you got this! Just sing your heart out even if you mess up keep going. 

1. Have fun! The audition will look a lot better if you have fun with it. You will smile more or show more emotion when you have fun so don’t stress too much! 

1. “Be prepared, be confident, take direction well, and have a great attitude!” Ms. Ankrum says!
