If you are a returning ELPs performer, you may opt out of the initial audition on Saturday, but plan to attend callbacks on Sunday. Callbacks will be held at the same location as auditions, from 2-5pm on Sunday, September 28th. Email auditions@elps.org, and we’ll let you know what time to arrive.
If you are unable to attend the auditions in person, but still wish to participate, we invite you to send us a video submission. Video auditions are due no later that 5pm on Friday, September 26th. Please send your resume (or a write up of your theater experience), head shot, and linked/embedded audition video to auditions@elps.org.
We ask that cast members under the age of 14 be accompanied by a parent to all rehearsals/performances. For the audition, younger members are welcome to sing any material that they choose. If they’d prefer a non-singing spot in the cast, please email auditions@elps.org.
