ABOUT NON-MUSICAL AUDITIONS
Actors have a total of three (3) minutes for their audition, not including their introduction. We strongly recommend you perform two contrasting monologues for the audition. Your monologues MUST be memorized. No reading will be allowed. You may not use costumes or props of any kind. However, we will provide a chair if you require one.

ABOUT MUSICAL AUDITIONS
Singers have a total of three (3) minutes for their musical audition, not including their introduction. It is strongly recommended that singers perform two contrasting songs, approximately 32 bars each. A monologue is optional, but remember that you must do your entire audition in three minutes. An accompanist will be provided during the musical auditions. Please bring sheet music in the appropriate key, with your start and stop points clearly marked. We suggest that you photocopy and tape your music together so that it all lays flat for the accompanist. If you prefer to bring your own accompanist, you may. However, you may not sing a cappella and you may not accompany yourself. Your audition MUST be memorized. No recorded music will be allowed.
Some hints from one of our accompanists.

* The early timeslots for the musical auditions are reserved for auditioners age 17 and younger.

ABOUT TIME
The three-minute time limit is STRICTLY ENFORCED. The timekeeper will call "Time" at the three-minute mark. If that happens, DO NOT CONTINUE. Instead, simply stop where you are, say "Thank you," and exit.

ABOUT MEMORIZATION
Your audition must be memorized. Scripts or "cheat sheets" will not be allowed. If your audition is not memorized, the timer will ask you to stop. If that happens, DO NOT CONTINUE. Instead, simply stop where you are, say "Thank you," and exit.

ABOUT HEADSHOTS AND RESUMES
PATA compiles and prints headshots and resumes for each auditor. Each applicant will submit only one copy of each document, and will be required to pay a $5 materials fee to cover the cost of the printing.
You MUST provide PATA with a headshot and resumes either online, mailed, or hand delivered to our office by the materials deadline. Failure to provide your headshot and resume on time will result in your audition being canceled.
If you are submitting paper copies, PATA prefers that you provide a first-generation print.
No Polaroids or inappropriately sized photos will be accepted.

ABOUT CALLBACKS
The City-Wide Auditions are general auditions, designed to provide an opportunity for exposure of performers to area directors and producers. Callbacks are at the discretion of each attending producing organization, and not PATA.
