Auditions
for OCCT Shows
& Workshops
| How
to Audition at OCCT:
· Prepare 16 bars of a song.
This can be any Broadway show tune or old standard song. A new popular song you
hear on the radio isn't usually a good choice. You can bring sheet music for the
song, or a tape or CD without vocals (like a Karaoke version).. A piano accompanist
will be provided at auditions to play your sheet music for you. You MUST have
a prepared song to audition.
· Wear comfortable clothes
to move freely in, you will learn a simple dance.
· Be prepared
to list date conflicts you might have with other school performance or sports
groups. We expect honesty at auditions. Late additions to conflicts may result
in dismissal from the production.
· Have a parent or guardian
present to sign permission slips.
· At OCCT we have no problem
with actors listing only the roles they will accept. We understand that kids are
all busy and have other options for performance and activities. We do ask that
if you do specify a role, and you are given that role, please accept the role.
Changing your mind a few days after auditions is not fair to the other kids trying
out for that part, or the director and staff who may have to reshuffle the whole
cast or find a replacement.
· Rehearsals are Monday and
Wednesday from 6 - 9 pm at Stanton Civic Center. Saturday rehearsals are from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Stanton Youth Center at Beach and Chapman. Not all actors
are called to every rehearsal. You accept the responsibility to check the web-site
and be present and on time.
· Cast Fees are $175 for Regular
Cast, ages 8-19 and $85 for Telegrammers. Telegrammers are children 5 and up years
old who learn 2 dances and songs and perform them at each show and deliver telegrams
to regular cast. It's a great introduction to OCCT.
· We
are a parent run organization. No one other than the 3 directors receive a salary.
Therefore, ALL parents must serve a minimum of 20 hours, 10 pre-show and 10 during
the show.
· Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment
where young people develop their acting, singing and dance skills. With that goal
if any child, parent or adult acts in what is perceived as other than responsible,
respectable and dedicated manner they may be dismissed from the show.
·
Call backs are by invitation only and you will be asked to read from prepared
sides, dance and sing.
· Always check the hot line (714)502-2244
and the occt.org website.
