How to Prepare for the Audition: Ideally, auditionees should prepare 32 bars of a 1940s or 1950s Christmas pop-standard (such as “White Christmas” or “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”), but also acceptable would be a standard Christmas carol, or simply a 1940s-type song (Such as Gershwin or Cole Porter). An accompanist may not be provided at auditions, in which case those auditioning may either sing a Capella or bring their own recorded accompaniment.
Rehearsal Information: Rehearsals will be at regularly scheduled times weeknights through November and December (with some possible initial rehearsals beginning in late October). Performers who accept a role are expected to attend all rehearsals unless conflicts have already been given at the audition and approved.
