Alpine Community Theater Announces Auditions for 2018 Summer Show

Alpine Community Theater (ACT) sends out a call for AUDITIONS for Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which will be performed July 19 through July 30, 2018. Open auditions will be held Saturday, May 12, at the Valentine Theater, 895 North 900 East in American Fork, Utah.

ACT’s 2018 summer production proudly celebrates the 50th anniversary of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! Full of catchy songs and one of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph reimagines the biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, his 11 brothers, and his coat of many colors.

Audition times are as follows:

Boys and girls ages 8 to 12: 9AM to Noon
Adults age 19 and up: 12:30 to 4:30PM
Teens ages 13-18: 1:30 to 4:30PM

Please plan to spend two hours to complete the audition process. Contact Laura Snyder in advance at 801-404-0736, if a time other than what is outlined above is needed. All ages are needed, from eight to 88!

The following information will help you prepare for the auditions:

SINGING: Be prepared to sing 16 measures of an upbeat Broadway musical (nothing from Wicked or Hamilton). Bring your sheet music. Karaoke tracks on electronic devices, such as iPods, iPads, or cell phones, WILL BE ALLOWED. Accompanists will also be provided. 

DANCING: Be prepared to learn dance steps by wearing appropriate footwear and clothing (no flip-flops or sandals). You will be asked to perform the learned dance steps in a group during auditions.

ACTING: Some may be asked to read lines and do some improvisation. Presenting a one-minute monologue is optional at call backs only.

SPECIAL SKILLS: If you have special skills, such as gymnastics or acrobatics, please let us know at auditions. We would love to see these special talents! 

CALL BACKS: Callbacks will be held May 15, 16, and 17. If we need you to return for a callback you will be notified as to which date and time. Not every role needs a callback, so please remember to check the final cast list, even if you didn’t get called back.  

FINAL CAST LIST: The final cast list will be posted on the ACT website on Friday, May 18, after 6:00 p.m. Please check the list, even if you did not receive a call back!

MANDATORY PARENT/CAST/STAFF MEETING: If you or your child is cast in this musical, you must attend this meeting with your child on Saturday, May 19, at the Valentine Theater from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. A read-through for leads will follow from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
