What is RCT’s Performance Group?
The RCT Performance Group is an elite group of young performers, aged 13 - 21, who desire to further hone their craft through preparation for both solo and ensemble performances. The group is formed on an audition basis and is limited in size in order to maximize each performer’s opportunities within the group.
Who should audition for RCT’s Performance Group?
Any performer age 13 - 21 who:
- Would like more opportunities to perform individually and as part of an ensemble
- Would like to hone their skills in vocal performance, acting, and dance through one-on-one instruction with our professional staff
- Would like to augment their artistic resume through membership in an elite group
Fall 2021 Session Theme and Performances
Our theme this session is Modern Broadway. We are defining this as any new Broadway shows that opened 2015 - present. That means shows like Mean Girls, Beetlejuice, Dear Evan Hanson, Waitress, and more! Solos will be selected from within this theme. Performance Group will also have the privilege of taking part in our 2022 season release party / fundraiser event. The group will perform one ensemble number from each of our 2022 season shows. Hint: that means that Performance Group members will know our 2022 season selections before anyone else!
Rehearsals and Time Commitment
Rehearsals will generally be held two evenings per week depending upon performer availability. Not all group members will be needed at every rehearsal. Additional tech rehearsals will be held the weeks prior to our scheduled performances (10/30 and 12/19). Additional performance opportunities often arise within the community and we will assess the group’s availability and schedule as they are presented.
Audition Procedures
Auditions for this session of Performance Group will be a bit different! However, we think they will be a fun and valuable experience for you as well as a time saver for us.
1) Register to audition using the link above. You will have an opportunity to take care of payment/request a scholarship -and- you will receive access to the Audition Song List. The audition songs are all songs within our Modern Broadway theme (described above).
2) Bring your completed Conflict Schedule to auditions.
3) Vocal auditions will be conducted “callback style”.
- You do not need to prepare a specific audition song in advance
- You may sing for any song on the Audition Song List that you feel could be a good showcase of your abilities
- Anyone interested in a particular song will briefly learn a cut around the piano with David, and then each person will sing
- You need to sing at least one song over the course of the night. We encourage you to sing more than one song if possible; you may sing for as many songs as you like.
- If you would like to sing something, that is within our theme, that is not on the Audition Song List, email us at info@rocklintheatre.org and we will review.
- The songs you sing for this night MAY or MAY NOT be considered for inclusion in our performances. Solo assignments will be determined after the group is assembled.
4) After vocal auditions are complete, we will conduct a brief dance audition. Bring clothes and footwear appropriate for dancing.
Other Information
Any conflicts related to other RCT activities, like Moana Jr, Elf, or Dance Classes will be approved. Our desire is to arrange the schedule such that you can participate in more than one RCT activity.
