  • April 29th from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Loveland, Ohio 45140

Show dates are July 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21 & 22.

Expectations for Auditions

What to bring:

  1. Dance/tap shoes if you have them, ballet slippers. Dress comfortably to be able to learn stage dance as well as show gymnastic and tumbling feats.
  2. Bring your summer schedule if you know it with dates you will be away and can definitely not change.
  3. Learn 30-45 seconds of a song that has some melody to it. I would like to hear your range as well as how well you can carry a tune.
  4. Bring your enthusiasm for the part if you want a particular part. Watch how others have done it….show me that you’re the best one there for the part.

What will happen?

  1. There will be some paperwork to fill out first with some basic information.
  2. We will take your photo in the green room to the left of the stage.
  3. We will have everyone up on the stage to sing; possibly as a group to warm up- then individually. This usually takes a while depending upon numbers, but all those involved want to hear what you can do. We will also have you sing the scales to get your range.
  4. We will then put everyone through some dance and tumbling moves by the choreographer.
  5. We will then read a bit from the script.

Callbacks:
This date will be April 30th and is another date for me to take a look at a few individuals one last time before casting. This doesn’t always mean you will be a particular part, as it depends how you stack up with others around you.

Casting:
I will notify everyone either by phone and email within a week of callbacks.

Please direct any questions to the Director: Christina Siciliano at LovelandMermaid@gmail.com.
