Audition Workshop Information:
Day 1 of the workshop students learn more about the show and characters, learn some of the dance for callbacks and share music they have or are helped to find music for the audition.

On Day 2 of the workshop, they do a mock audition and get feedback on their vocal and dance auditions.  These workshops are a great way to prepare for your audition.

Workshop fee: $50 for two-day workshop

Production sign up is currently available online but is NOT REQUIRED until after casting is complete. Once casting is complete every actor in the show must sign up for the production through our class schedule/registration page.

Jungle Book Synopsis:   Specially adapted from the classic animated film, this lively stage version includes all your favorite tunes, like “The Bare Necessities” and “I Wanna Be Like You.” Thrill to the adventures of orphaned Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves, as he befriends a lovable menagerie of jungle creatures and confronts the terrible tiger Sheere Khan and the petrifying python Kaa.

Will Mowgli decide to join his own kind? Or will he stay in the bush with his animal friends? You’ll have to venture into the jungle to find out!
