“One of the greatest pleasures I find in the arts is to be astonished at human ability...Such a spectacle of gratuitous talent incites me, not only to praise the artist, but to praise God for giving such ability to human beings.” Gene Veith, State of the Arts

Fiddler Auditions

The time has come for the auditions for our spring music! We are putting on "Fiddler on the Roof" on April 17th-19th! This is a fantabulous show and I hope to see many at the auditions. If you are unfamiliar with the show, you can read the synopisis. You may also listen to music samples or view the character list.

If you intend on auditioning, you must attend at least one of the music workshops with Mrs. Selby. The workshops will be on January 14th and 15th from 3pm-4pm. You will be learning the music with which you will be auditioning. Rather than each person selecting his/her own piece of music, each student will audition with songs from the musical that will be rehearsed during the workshops. You are welcome to come to both workshops.

The actual auditions will be helpd on January 22nd-23rd from 3pm-5pm in Mr. Madden's room. During the audition you will individually sing a piece of music from the previous workshop. Please sign up for a musical audition time slot on the sheet posted by Mrs. Selby's room.

You will also be performing readings from the script which can be viewed here. You need only to attend one of the audition dates. Attending both does not increase your odds of recieving a part.

If you have any other questions, ask Mr. Madden. May the fiddler be with you.
