Auditions

Thank you for your interest in theater camp at Wesley Church! We are excited to put together this awesome show with you and your kids!

Auditions are May 16th from 9am - 1pm & May 17th from 2pm - 5pm.
Choose either day to attend!

What to expect at auditions: 
Everyone who auditions will be cast in the show, so there is no pressure. We want to hear all campers sing at auditions, to gauge where they will fit best in the production. If you are auditioning for a lead role, you will see what song is required in the character breakdown. Both the original track and the karaoke track will be linked in a google drive so you can practice and prepare! If auditioning for a lead role, we will also ask to hear you read certain sections of the script. We can’t wait to see you UNDER THE SEA!
