Thank you to everyone who auditioned for our JTF 2021 companies in person and via video.

If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to contact sarah@inspirationstage.com.
INSPIRATION STAGE PROUDLY ANNOUNCES FALL COLLECTIVE AUDITIONS for three upcoming productions: Carrie the Musical, Descendants the Musical, and Elf JR!
Auditions, rehearsals, and productions will be held at Inspiration Stage’s BRAND-NEW studio and theatre, 12794 Fountain Lake Drive, Stafford, Texas 77477 located in the Fountains Shopping Center off Highway 59. Performances will have both limited, in-person audiences and (where possible with licensing arrangement) ticketed streamed performances online to enjoy from home. See our safety precautions and measures listed at the end of this post.
All three of these fantastic productions will be auditioned and cast simultaneously to appropriately distribute talent and cast sizes across all shows. This collective audition is open to anyone ages 13-19. 13 year olds may choose which group to audition with: teens or youth. All roles are available; no roles are precast.
AT AUDITIONS YOU WILL…
– Bring a prepared song (32 bars, about 90 seconds) from either Carrie, Descendants, or Elf JR by the character you are most interested in playing. For example, if of these three shows your #1 role is Jovie from Elf JR, prepare “Never Fall In Love with an Elf”.
– Bring your headshot (or recent photo) and resume.
– Dress comfortably so you can learn and perform a dance combination.
– Be prepared to learn additional music and/or scenes from all three shows.
– Rank these shows in order of preference and list any/all conflicts with these productions. You will also have the opportunity to indicate whether you wish to be cast in one, two, or all three shows. Some actors may be cast in more than one production based on their preferences.
