AUDITION INFORMATION
Legally Blonde JR. follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. When Elle’s boyfriend, Warner, dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she’s not “serious” enough, Elle takes matters into her own hands, crafting a showy song-and-dance personal essay and charming her way into law school. Befriending classmate, Emmett, and spunky hairdresser, Paulette, along the way, Elle finds that books and looks aren’t mutually exclusive. As Elle begins outsmarting her peers, she realizes that law may be her natural calling after all.

Auditions:
Actors should plan to attend only ONE of the audition dates – August 9th from 12-3pm or August 11th from 6-8:30pm. Please plan to attend the entire audition for whichever day you choose.
In advance of your audition, please prepare the verse and chorus of an age-appropriate Broadway/Disney song. We are not requesting a monologue; instead, the director has asked that performers make BOLD acting choices with their song preparation.
At auditions, performers will be taught a brief dance combination.
We intend to cast no more than 30 performers. See below for a note about auditions.
Rehearsal: Rehearsals will occur Monday and Thursday evenings from 6:30pm until 8:30pm. There will be at least one Saturday rehearsal on October 25th from 12-3pm.
Performances:
- Tech Week: November 3-5th from 6-9pm
- Performances: Thursday, November 6th at 9am and 11am (school shows). Friday, November 7th and Saturday, November 8th at 7pm.
A Note About Auditions
Auditions are not a place of judgment, and we are not equipped or qualified to determine whether or not someone is talented. Auditions are the actor’s opportunity to offer their gifts. We then have to decide how best to use them… or if we have a place for them at all.
While we’d love to cast every single person who comes out for our shows, we’re unable to do so. It’s heartbreaking! Please help everyone involved by preparing your auditioner for the possibility that we might not have a place for them this time. We often have twice as many auditions as we have roles to fill, and this unfortunately means having to cut some immensely talented people.
Please help us out by preparing your young actor before they come to auditions. If you do not believe they can handle possibly being cut from the show, we ask that you wait a bit longer before encouraging them to try out.
Thank you so much!
