| Where are performances? |
| There are usually five performances and a student matinee. Performances are at the Wildish Community Theater in Springfield or at Lane Community College. |
| Is attendance at performances mandatory? |
| Definitely YES. There will be no absenteeism during performances. |
| How much is tuition? |
| Tuition for 8 year olds through high school is $160. The tuition covers workshop, performance t-shirt, costumes, make-up, rehearsal, performances and a photo CD. Tuition for adults who are cast is $40 to cover make-up and costume. |
| Are scholarships available? |
| YES. There are some full and partial scholarships available. |
| What about rehearsals? |
| Most cast members will rehearse 3-4 hours per week (the larger the part, the more rehearsal needed). The last 3 weeks of rehearsal are mandatory for everyone. |
| Seems like a lot of rehearsals? Do I have to be there every night? |
| No, but everyone in the cast will rehearse at least 2 times per week for 1-2 hours each time. There may be some flexibility with schedule conflicts or prior commitments up until three weeks prior to opening. All schedule conflicts must be handed in at auditions and after that, NO new conflicts will be accepted. |
| You mentioned a workshop. What is that? |
| Workshops will be times for cast members to bond and to learn staging and acting skills. |
| When will we know if we are cast? |
| If you are considered for a lead or major role you will be asked to come to CALLBACKS for another audition. |
| What if I'm not called back for "call backs"? |
| If you are not called back IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU DIDN'T GET A PART! Not everyone auditioning will get called back for a second audition. |
| How will I find out if I'm cast or not? |
| The cast list will be posted on our web site. |
| I found out I was cast, now what do I do? |
| You need to call the theatre (541-431-0444) and either accept or reject your part. Here is some good advice from the director. Accept any part you are given and feel proud of yourself. |
| What about our first meeting? |
| The first meeting is mandatory for ONE PARENT (GUARDIAN, if applicable)/CAST MEMBER(S). You will receive important information regarding Rose Children's Theatre's expectations. |
| What are rehearsals like? |
Rehearsals begin with an ALL CAST read-through. After that, the director determines the rehearsal schedule. Not everyone will be required to rehearse each day.
Do you need volunteers?
YES! Volunteers are an important part of any RCT production. One of the goals of the Rose Children's Theatre is to involve parents in their children's theatre experience. This also helps to build community and provide services to the theatre that would otherwise require payment. All of the needs of RCT cannot be met by tuition and ticket sales alone. To make this a truly outstanding experience, there will be specific volunteer requirements for parents of children cast in this production. No child will be denied participation based on his/her parent(s)' ability to volunteer. |
If you do not get cast, don't give up! Keep trying! Enroll in our Musical in a Month program or go to musical theatre camps, etc., and then come back for another audition.
