About the Auditions
Preliminary Auditions will consist of performing a short contemporary monologue, as well as a short vocal audition (see Vocal Audition Requirements below.). If you don’t have a prepared monologue, please read from one of the “optional monologues” listed at the very bottom of the General Audition Information page.
Callbacks will consist of a vocal call back that includes sight-reading, group singing, improvisation, and/or coaching. Additionally they will consist of a dance/movement auditions (see Dance Audition Requirements below.) Auditioners will read scenes in pairs and groups and will have their measurements taken by the costume shop.
The Rocky Horror Show by David O’Brien is the stage production that spawned the beloved and cult classic, Rocky Horror Picture Show. The stage production follows Brad and Janet as they enter the world of Dr FrankenFurter. Filled with fun sing a long numbers, and audience participation encouraged, The Rocky Horror Show will encourage us all to not "Dream it, but Be It".
This show explores human identity and sexuality in a very visceral and, at times, physical way. Please be aware that if cast in this production we will be working with an intimacy choreographer, but the cast will be expected to embrace the themes of the show through physical touch and revealing costumes.
If you have questions or concerns about that requirement, please reach out to JSmith3@santarosa.edu before auditioning.
