Live Audition Tour and Video/DVD Auditions
At scheduled auditions participants will be asked to sing, dance, and perform a short monologue. The Musical Theatre Lab is an “actingcentric” program. We are looking for students with character, intention, and a strong commitment to their material.
Do not be discouraged to audition if you feel that you are not proficient in all three areas. We will work on your strengths as well as your weaknesses!
A 35.00 application fee will be charged to all applicants. Please make your check payable to Fineline Theatre Arts.
If you cannot attend a scheduled audition please send a recorded VHS or DVD and the application fee to Fineline Theatre Arts, 66 Rail Road St., New Milford, CT. Your audition tape/dvd should include a song, a short monologue, and a short piece of choreography in any style that you feel comfortable with.
