The Superior Arts Youth Theater will be holding auditions for our upcoming fall production of “Disney’s The Lion King Jr”. All auditions will take place on the 3rd floor of Graveraet School, located at 611 N. Front Street, Marquette, MI.

Youth ages preschool to 8th grade are eligible to audition. Youth actors, singers, gymnasts and dancers are all needed for a variety of parts. Youth must complete a Vocal/Acting audition and a Dance Call.

Vocal/Acting Auditions
Sign up online or show up. Sign ups will receive priority for audition time. You do NOT need to sign up in order to audition, you can just show up (especially if the sign up gets filled). Those ages 11 and up will be asked to perform a short song (or cutting from a song) and monologue. Ages 10 and under are asked to perform a short song or cutting from a song. A pianist will be provided as well as a speaker and auxiliary cable for those auditioning. We prefer you to sing with our pianist accompanying you! You can also fill out an audition form prior to auditions online.

Dance Call
We will assign you a time at your vocal/acting audition. Please let us know if you are unavailable for the dance call. You must attend a dance call or make arrangements. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes that you can dance in!

Callbacks
Only those listed on the callback list, which will be e-mailed out Wednesday night (9/14) will be required to attend callbacks. Callbacks will be between 5-8:30pm on Thursday (9/15) and possibly Friday (9/16). The final schedule will be determined during auditions.
