What To Expect At Auditions

We are the FIRST in Washington State to produce this NEW High School Edition of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! This is a larger than normal show with 29 named parts as well as ensemble roles. There are parts for men, women, as well as non-gender-specific roles. We have a need for on-stage, non-speaking roles, crew members, artists, hairstylists, folks who like construction work for sets, etc. So, if you have ever been interested in theater either on or off stage, please come to auditions. Making this magic is going to be incredible!

To participate in Fall Play, students must purchase a 2024-2025 ASB card, sign up for EHS Activities at https://ellensburg-wa.finalforms.com, and get a Blue Participation Slip from Mrs. McCracken in the EHS ASB office.

Auditions will be held on Monday, September 9th at 5:30 p.m., at the Morgan Middle School auditorium, and call-backs will be the next day, September 10^th.

We will have a general meeting for about 30-45 minutes at 5:30 pm on expectations and other administrative information, and then we will begin the auditions. Parents and/or guardians should plan to attend the general meeting. EVERYONE (cast, crew, tech, artists, etc.) interested in being a part of this production MUST come to this meeting. Anyone not auditioning for onstage roles will be dismissed after the meeting. If you have a conflict and can't be at this meeting, but still want to participate, email us at Ellensburgfallplay@esd401.org.

Auditions will be closed to anyone but those students who are auditioning.

Actors who are auditioning should prepare a 1-2 minute dramatic monologue. I am looking for your range of expression, how you engage the audience, how you commit to the role, and the potential you may have. Bring you’re A-game – EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN IN SHOWS BEFORE!! I do not cast based on past performances. I cast based on your audition. If you decide to “phone it in” because you have been in shows before, do not be surprised if you are not cast.

If you are stuck on what to do, google "dramatic monologues for teens," and you should find something that will work. It does NOT need to be memorized, but it will help.
