Enter the name of the show Annie JR, Honk JR, or High School Musical JR and you can get audition side that we will be using for our main stage versions of Honk and High School Musical as well as sides for the Annie JR audition. You can access some song downloads at the JR. site or go to the main MTI site , type in the show name and cling on song list . You will need to type in Annie, High School Musical or Honk to listen to MP3 files of the songs. This should help you familiarize yourself for the auditions.

You will need to be signed in 15 minute before your time to be able to audition. You should dress in comfortable casual clothes that you can move in. Will everyone in line have the opportunity to audition on the audition day? This will depend on how many people show up for the auditions. Although we would love to audition everyone who shows up on the day of the event, we will only guarantee to see those you have pre-registered. However, If our time is running short, the Producer may walk around the venue to pick out people to audition (regardless of how early they registered or their seat numbers) based on performing ability, look, style, personality and other factors, at Producer's sole discretion. Are auditions by appointment or is it "cattle call" style? Auditions are by appointment. Do you charge for the auditions and will I appear on TV? No. Auditions are free. The Musical performances will not appear on TV due to licensing rights, however, we may air some of our practices and acting classes on TV in our Pop Show live show on Bright House. Do you charge to appear in the show? This is a tuition based program. The Pop Shop is a performing arts school and if you are selected to appear in one of our musicals you will need to join our acting class on Monday nights where we will be rehearsing the show as well as training in acting, singing and dancing. Each family will receive 2 free tickets to a performance of their choice. Rehearsal and show training is from 6-9:00 on Monday nights. Class members pay 12.50 per hour to train or $150 per month. Can I bring my friends and family for support? Only one parent or guardian may enter the audition space along with you based on available seats. If we run out of space your guardian may be asked to wait for you outside. How long will the auditions take? We are expecting the auditions to take a few hours, but you should be prepared for it to go longer especially if you receive a call-back. When are the shows going to be performed and where? We are casting for our 2007-08 season now. That means you will be seen for all 3 musicals at the same time. We will be starting on Annie JR and Honk immediately with a scheduled performance date at the end of January and beginning of February. We will begin working on High School Musical in early January in Rehearsal and then perform in spring. We are looking for a Theater or venue to perform in and are considering both the Helen Stairs Theater as well as several churches and stages in the area.
