Audition Opportunities
Scroll down for news about upcoming opportunities to audition for Next Generation Arts Council!
Auditions are required for every production at Next Generation Arts Council. While audition requirements are subject to change for each production, performers auditioning can expect to sing a 16-32 bar Musical Theatre cut. Performers should also be prepared to learn a short dance combination.
Invited callbacks may take place in the days after auditions. Not everyone will be invited to callbacks. Callbacks are not a measure of talent, nor are they an presumption of casting. Performers that are called back are not guaranteed to be in the cast, and performers that are not called back may still be in the cast.
Email NextGenerationArtsDC@gmail.com with subject line "Auditions" with any questions.
Next Generation Arts Council is THRILLED to announce auditions for our upcoming production of "Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition!"
Seeking performers of all experience levels, ages 8-18.
Please prepare 16-32 bars (30-60 seconds) of a song. Choose a song that shows your singing ability, and do not worry if you are not headed for the opera. There are non-singing and non-solo roles, but everyone must sing for the audition. We recommend, but do not require, a musical theatre-style song. Please DO NOT sing a song from this show. Bring a pre-recorded musical accompaniment downloaded to a device so that you do not need to rely on the internet to play it, or be prepared to sing a cappella.
Next Generation Arts Council is committed to diversity and equal opportunity designed to promote a positive model of inclusion. As such, Next Generation encourages performers of all backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities, and experience levels, as well as performers with disabilities, to audition. All roles are available to performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities.
Please send any and all questions to Director Fred Zirm:
