OBU Theatre Auditions

Into the Woods, Jr.

Book by James Lapine
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

October 19, 21–22, 26–29 and 31

We are looking for every kind of fairy tale hero and villain: handsome princes, beautiful princesses, big bad wolves, and wicked witches!

Auditions for Into the Woods, Jr. are Monday, August 28, 2023, from 2–5 p.m. and 5:30–7:30 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre in Sarkeys Center at OBU. Plan to spend about an hour at the audition.

• You will sing 32 bars from a stage or film musical of your choice (you bring your own pre-recorded accompaniment music) or 32 bars of a song from Into the Woods, Jr. (pre-recorded accompaniment will be provided.)
• At the audition, we will give you a small excerpt of dialogue from the show to read with another person who is auditioning, so we can hear your speaking voice.
• Attire for the audition is long pants or skirt, collared shirt or blouse, and low-heel, soft-soled shoes. Jeans without rips or holes are acceptable but please no shorts, t-shirts, or heels.

We will host a workshop Friday, August 25 from 3–6 p.m. to teach you the audition music from the show. This will be in the Black Box Theatre in Sarkeys Center. You are not required to attend the workshop to come to auditions.
