INTRO TO R2P

  • Running to Places (R2P) is a youth community theatre company that brings together middle & high school students from across the area. We're in the business of youth development, helping raise our community's children and making excellent theatre in the process.

    In R2P, you will have a great time doing theatre, learn a lot of practical skills you’ll use whether or not you ever do theatre again, make some great new friends, and make a difference to your community.

    We believe so strongly that EVERYONE should have equitable access to the joys and benefits of live theatre, we’ve made participation for students and attendance for our audiences 100% FREE.

  • YES! No experience or special skills necessary.

    R2P is committed to casting consciously. We value cultivating a diverse company in terms of race, ethnicity, sexuality and gender expression, religious identity, ability, and celebrating each other onstage and off.

    Click here for R2P’s Diversity Policy, adopted by our Board of Directors (Sept 2019)

  • YES! Once upon a time there was a fee for participation – as much as $500 per student! 😳 But not anymore!

    Participation in R2P is entirely FREE! As an organization, we have dedicated ourselves to our founding principle of universal accessibility and torn down all financial barriers to entry – from the students onstage and off to our audiences who we welcome at no cost!

    This is only possible thanks to our generous sponsors and donors. We depend on the generosity of our community – friends, families, and neighbors. Please consider making a one-time donation or make a bigger impact by making a monthly gift as an R2Patron today.

  • Working in theatre will give you skills and experiences in areas that you’ll benefit from your whole life including:

    * Self-confidence

    * Self-expression

    * Working under pressure with a deadline

    * Taking and assimilating direction quickly and gracefully

    * Improvising when the unexpected (inevitably) happens

    * Poise speaking in front of others

    * Time management and self-discipline

    * Valuing your contributions as an individual and to a team

    Not to mention:

    * Making tons of new friends

    * Surrounding yourself with a supportive community that will celebrate you being you!

    If you go on to pursue theatre, you’ll have training in acting, singing, dancing, plus an understanding of best-practices for the industry.

    Regardless of what you do in life, you’ll bring to any job interview or workplace all of the skills listed above and more.

    And if you are doing it just to have a lot of fun, you’ll get that, too!

  • First thing you have to do is just show up!

    Walking in the door to audition can seem scary at first, but we promise to be the friendliest people you’ll ever audition for. After that, you’ll need to show up as called for rehearsals and, of course, performances.

    We work fast – typically rehearsing a show in less time than a typical school show. You’re expected to put in work on your own time memorizing lines, practicing dances, etc. We’ll make sure you have the tools you need to do all that, though.

    If you’re looking to be onstage, it takes auditioning; if you’re interested in working on other aspects of the production, it just takes emailing us at info@runningtoplaces.org.

    We don’t cut anyone and there is no fee to participate. (Although we rely on the generosity of our community to sustain our work, so donations are gratefully accepted).

ABOUT AUDITIONING FOR R2P GENERALLY

  • Show up.

    That's it. Simply walk in the door for the auditions. No one is cut no matter how your audition goes.

    No experience? Fine.

    Forget the words? No worries, we’ve all been there.

    Explode in a ball of nervous flames? It’s all good – you’ll still be offered a place in a show, and we’ll teach you skills that will help it go better next time.

    Meanwhile – Just. Show. Up. :)

  • You are. You don't have to be perfect. You don't need any experience or special skills. You just need to show up.


    But I'm nervous!

    Understandable. It's okay to be nervous. We promise to be nicer than you are nervous. Just show up.


    But I'm not as prepared for the audition as I should be!

    So what! You'll get better at all this with some practice – and you will get practice once you're doing shows with us, which you automatically will be no matter how your audition goes as long as you simply… show up. :)

  • We typically rehearse on Sundays (younger casts: 5:00-8:30pm; older casts: from 1-9pm with a 45 minute dinner break) and Tuesday & Thursdays (younger casts: 5:00-8:30pm; older casts from 5:30-9:00pm).

    HOWEVER – most people are not called for most of the time – we only call people for the specific things we’ll be rehearsing at any given time. So for example, we might call you from 2:30-3:45pm to rehearse the number we’re working on, but you wouldn’t be called for the rest of the day if you’re not in the scenes/songs we’re working on during those times. These rehearsals generally go on for about 9 or 10 weeks.

    The week of the show, everyone is called for the full time. Tech week rehearsals usually consist of a few hours on the Saturday before the show to “load-in” (setting up the scenery, bringing in the costumes, etc.) and then 1-9pm on Sunday. Weekdays are generally daily rehearsals from 5:00-9:30pm until the show opens.

    We let people know the schedule as we go along – publishing the schedule too far in advance is only a recipe for schedules getting out of date when things we work on take longer than expected, when conflicts appear, or because we shift priorities of what to work on next. You should be able to attend all or most rehearsals that you are called for, including ALL technical rehearsals and performances, including post-show strike (where we take everything apart and put it all away).


  • Callbacks are another round of auditions in which we have people sing and/or read material for particular roles from shows being cast. A callback for one role might actually serve for several similar roles in a show, so being called back for a particular role doesn’t mean you are auditioning just for that role.

    Callbacks happen in groups. Everyone called back for a particular role will come into the audition room together. We’ll review the music or discuss the scene, and then we’ll hear you each one by one. Performing in front of each other helps everyone learn more about how to prepare and present callbacks – and it usually helps folks understand casting decisions, since all the auditionees get to see and hear the same things as the directors who will be making the cast lists.

    If you do not receive a callback it DOES NOT mean you are not cast in a show. We only have so much time for callbacks, and we use it to find out what we don’t yet know and need to figure out in terms of appropriate castings. We also sometimes call people back for a variety of educational reasons, such as gaining the experience of auditioning alongside others. Please do not try to read too much into callbacks – there are lots of reasons why someone is or is not called back for a particular role, or at all.

  • We’ve been doing this for a long time. We will consider your strengths and the needs of the shows across the season. If you let us know that you’re only available for one show, and we think that show isn’t a good fit for you, we may offer you a place in a different show. It's our job to put people in the places we feel they will have the most success, and that might even mean offering you a place in a show that you didn’t expect.

  • Yes. We don't cut anyone and work hard to find the best match for each person within the season. Everyone is offered a place in at least one performance per season. You don't necessarily get to pick which show you are offered. We do our best to find the place where we feel you will have the most success.

  • Don't envy the people doing the casting. While it's a wonderful job (getting to see and hear courageous young people lay it all on the line is inspiring beyond words), we know that it also means breaking hearts from time to time.

    Paramount for us is putting everyone where they will have the most success. It's not unusual for an ambitious, capable, and brave young first-timer to wonder why they didn't get a lead role or even a callback. Please know this:

    We would never want to make someone happy the day the list comes out, nervous as rehearsals approach, anxious about struggling with the role, scared for the performances, and then sad and regretful after it's all done. We want everyone to succeed, whatever shape that happens to take.

  • You bet! You’ll have opportunities and invitations to help with sets, costumes, props, stage management, concessions, etc. You're not required to, but ask anyone who has – it’s a ton of fun, and you’ll learn a lot in the process! You can indicate areas of interest when you sign up to audition – but we always cast you first and then look at these areas of interest. If working on the production/tech side is your main thing, fill out the form below!

PREPARING FOR YOUR AUDITION

  • You can choose songs from musicals (including movie musicals!) For ideas, ask your smartphone to “play some Broadway show tunes” or listen to The Best of Broadway on 91.7 WICB every Sunday morning from 10am-12pm. You can find monologues in plays, books, movies or TV shows. The library and the good old interwebs are great places to look.

    In case you need a head start looking for materials, we've created a page with songs and monologues that you are welcome to use. There is neither any advantage nor disadvantage to using one of the pieces from the R2P website – we just want to take out as much stress for you as possible.

    PRO-TIP: Time your monologue by saying it OUT-LOUD — you'll be surprised how short a paragraph of text it takes to be in that sweet 30-60 second range.

  • We'll be looking for you to be audible, interesting, and confident. Even if you're nervous, pretend you're not (it's about acting after all!), and we won't know the difference.

    You should know who you are talking/singing to and why. What are you trying to convince them of? What effect do you want to have on them by saying this?

    A song is just a monologue that you act while singing – remember that it’s not just about the notes, but also how the character feels.

    You should have your songs and monologue memorized to the best of your ability. We’d rather you occasionally glance at your paper and stay strong and confident than spend your whole audition sweating over what word comes next. That being said, preparing ahead of time enough to be memorized is best.

    During the dance audition, sure we are interested in dance ability, but also a good attitude, the willingness to learn, and a commitment to trying.

  • NOTE: This round of auditions is by video submission. Look for info about how to prepare your virtual audition below. The following info mostly pertains to in-person auditions, but we kept it here for you to learn about that style of audition, too.

    For your vocal audition, please bring a copy of the sheet music for your song. There will be an accompanist to play it for you on piano. You will have time to chat with the accompanist to discuss tempos, start/end points, any cuts, etc.

    Please make sure your sheet music is clean and legible, and clearly marked with the words “START” and “STOP”.

    If you do not have sheet music, you may sing without accompaniment – however, please remember that we will learn much more about you as a performer if we can hear you sing with accompaniment, since that is how shows are performed, so we recommend finding the sheet music if possible.

    You may hold your paper with your song and/or monologue if you need to. Again however, we will learn more about you the more your audition pieces are prepared. (And it also will show us something about how you would prepare for rehearsals and performances.)

  • While the song and monologue auditions are by video for this round, the dance auditions will be in person. (More info below)

    For the dance audition, please wear comfortable clothing that you can freely move in. You don’t necessarily need dance gear, but you should be able to move in a full range of motion. Shoes should be soft-soled and attached to your feet (i.e. no crocs, sandals, or flip-flops!)

    Bringing a water bottle is also recommended.

  • NOTE: These auditions are by video submission. Look for info about how to prepare your virtual audition below. The following info mostly pertains to in-person auditions, but we kept it here for you to learn about that style of audition, too.

    You should be prepared to tell us who you are and what your pieces are from. A complete summary of the play or situation isn't necessary. (Honestly, sometimes we’re asking just so we can write it down and jog our memory when we’re reviewing our notes later.)

    Do your best to be prepared. Don’t wait til the last minute to start working on your audition materials. Nerves will try to shake the lines and lyrics out of your brain, but solid preparation can keep you standing on solid ground. (Although more important than being perfectly prepared is simply showing up!)

    And remember, we're rooting for you to do great! We know that auditions can be nerve-wracking. (Believe us, we've done them, too!) Just keep in mind we want to see and hear everyone do well – we're your biggest fans!

    • Be in grades 6-12 for the 2026-27 school year

    • Show up! (by completing your Auditionee Info Form, submitting your audition videos, and attending the dance audition)

  • SONG & ACTING AUDITIONS:
    The singing and acting auditions will be submitted by video. There will not be in-person general auditions, although dance auditions and callbacks will be in-person. (More info about callbacks below.)

    You will need to prepare roughly 30-60 seconds of a song of your choice (around 16-32 measures) and perform a 30-60 second memorized monologue (roughly a paragraph).

    Assuming you don’t have a live pianist to accompany you (most people don’t), you can sing to a YouTube karaoke track. (We don’t want to hear the original singer on the track – just you!) You also may sing without accompaniment, but please remember that we will learn more about you if we hear you sing with accompaniment, as that is how shows are performed, after all.

    Please be sure to “slate” at the beginning of your video. That just means introduce yourself and your piece. For example, you might say, “Hi, my name is Corky St. Clair, and this song is called 'A Penny for Your Thoughts' from the musical “Red, White, and Blaine.”

    The link to submit your audition videos is at the bottom of this page and also will be displayed after you submit your Auditionee Info Form (see below).

  • This round of auditions is to cast the legendary Broadway smash: CHICAGO! Due to the complexity of the material and some mature themes, this show is for those in grades 9-12 only. We will be doing an adapted version of the show specifically designed to be performed by younger actors. You are encouraged to do your own research and have a discussion at home before auditioning for this show.

  • The auditions will consist of singing, acting, and dancing.

    The singing and acting will take place during individual 5-minute slots. You will sing roughly 30-60 seconds of a song of your choice (around 16-32 measures) and perform a 30-60 second memorized monologue. You may be asked to sing some scales, and we'll probably chat a little.

    The dancing will take place in a group. As a group, you will learn a short dance combination suitable for dancers of all levels, rehearse it several times, and then perform it in groups a couple of times for the directors.

    We may hold a second round of dance “callbacks” toward the end of the block, where we bring some folks back in for more advanced choreography.

Additionally, actors in grades 9-12 from the casts of JAMES, BIG FISH and PINOCCHIO may be cast again – but are not guaranteed so during this current season. However, anyone who is not cast this round will not need to re-audition again in the summer – you will be automatically moved forward to casting or callbacks for next season.

    Click here for R2P’s Diversity Policy, adopted by our Board of Directors (Sept 2019)

  • YES! Once upon a time there was a fee for participation – as much as $500 per student! 😳 But not anymore!

    Participation in R2P is entirely FREE! As an organization, we have dedicated ourselves to our founding principle of universal accessibility and torn down all financial barriers to entry – from the students onstage and off to our audiences who we welcome at no cost!

    This is only possible thanks to our generous sponsors and donors. We depend on the generosity of our community – friends, families, and neighbors. If you can spare a few dollars per month, please become an R2Patron today.

  • Working in theatre will give you skills and experiences in areas that you’ll benefit from your whole life including:

    * Self-confidence

    * Self-expression

    * Working under pressure with a deadline

    * Taking and assimilating direction quickly and gracefully

    * Improvising when the unexpected (inevitably) happens

    * Poise speaking in front of others

    * Time management and self-discipline

    * Valuing your contributions as an individual and to a team

    Not to mention:

    * Making tons of new friends

    * Surrounding yourself with a supportive community that will celebrate you being you!

    If you go on to pursue theatre, you’ll have training in acting, singing, dancing, plus an understanding of best-practices for the industry; if you are doing it just to have a lot of fun, you’ll get that, too!

  • First thing you have to do is just show up! Walking in the door to audition can seem scary at first, but we promise to be the friendliest people you’ll ever audition for. After that, you’ll need to show up as called for rehearsals and, of course, performances. We work fast – typically rehearsing a show in less time than a typical school show. You’re expected to put in work on your own time memorizing lines, practicing dances, etc. We’ll make sure you have the tools you need to do all that, though.

    If you’re looking to be onstage, it takes auditioning; if you’re interested in working on other aspects of the production, it just takes letting us know. We don’t cut anyone and there is no fee to participate. (Although we rely on the generosity of our community to sustain our work, so donations are gratefully accepted).

    • Be in grades 6-12 for the 2024-25 school year

    • Show up

  • Show up. That's it. Simply walk in the door for the auditions. No one is cut no matter how your audition goes. No experience? Fine. Forget the words? No worries, we’ve all been there. Explode in a ball of nervous flames? It’s all good – you’ll still be offered a place in a show, and we’ll teach you skills that will help it go better next time. Meanwhile – Just. Show. Up. :)

  • You are. You don't have to be perfect. You don't need any experience or special skills. You just need to show up.


    But I'm nervous!

    Understandable. It's okay to be nervous. We promise to be nicer than you are nervous. Just show up.


    But I'm not as prepared for the audition as I should be!

    So what! You'll get better at all this with some practice – and you will get practice once you're doing shows with us, which you automatically will be no matter how your audition goes as long as you simply… show up. :)

  • THE WIZARD OF OZ: Youth Edition (OCTOBER 2024)
    We're not in Kansas anymore! It's the classic tale of Dorothy getting swept over the rainbow to a magical land! Joined by the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Cowardly Lion on a quest to see the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, will Dorothy get home to Kansas before the Wicked Witch get her – and her little dog, too? The Wizard of Oz will be cast from the younger members of our company, including some high school students.

    MAMMA MIA! (January 2025)
    Sophie is getting married, and she wants her dad there – so he secretly invites three men from her mother Donna's past in hope of meeting her real father and having him escort her down the aisle on her big day. There's misunderstandings and mischief aplenty – all set to the sparkling disco rock of ABBA's greatest hits! Guaranteed to be the party of the season!

    ALICE IN WONDERLAND JR. (April 2015)
    The ever-curious Alice's journey begins innocently enough as she chases the White Rabbit. Her adventures become increasingly more strange as she races the Dodo Bird, gets tied up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, raps with a bubble-blowing Caterpillar and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game! This show will be cast from the younger members of our company, including some high school students.

    TO BE ANNOUNCED TITLE (JULY 2025)
    We are not quite ready to announce our final show of the season but it will be an exciting one that we hope you will also be eager to participate in. We will be making our callback lists for that production from these initial auditions. Anyone in grades 9-12 who is interested should attend this upcoming initial audition. We can not guarantee that there will be an open call for our final title.

  • The auditions will consist of singing, acting, and dancing.

    The singing and acting will take place during individual 5-minute slots. You will sing roughly 30-60 seconds of a song of your choice (around 16-32 measures) and perform a 30-60 second memorized monologue. You may be asked to sing some scales, and we'll probably chat a little. These auditions will take place

    The dancing will take place in a group. As a group, you will learn a short dance combination suitable for dancers of all levels, rehearse it several times, and then perform it in groups a couple of times for the directors.

    Song & Monologue Auditions:
    • Monday, June 3: 4-8pm
    • Wednesday, June 5: 4-8pm
    • Friday, June 7: 4-5pm, 7-8pm
    • If you need to audition by video, please email info@runningtoplaces.org or text 607-216-8750 for instructions.

    Dance Audition (required for everyone) – Friday, June 7
    • 5:00-6:00pm (grades 6-8)
    • 6:00-7:00pm (grades 9-12)

    You will sign up for an audition slot after completing the Auditionee Info Form below.

    Callbacks are June 17, 19 and 21 with the exact schedule to be posted after the initial round of auditions.

  • We’re recommending auditioning in person if possible – we’ll be able get a better sense of you in the room, since theatre is all about performing live, after all.

    If you’re not able to make it, you may submit a video. Please email info@runningtoplaces.org or text 607-216-8750 for more information on how to submit an audition by video.

  • You can choose songs from musicals (including movie musicals!) For ideas, ask your smartphone to “play some Broadway show tunes” or listen to The Best of Broadway on 91.7 WICB every Sunday morning from 10am-12pm. You can find monologues in plays, books, movies or TV shows. The library and the good old interwebs are great places to look.

    In case you need a head start looking for materials, we've created a page with songs and monologues that you are welcome to use. There is neither any advantage nor disadvantage to using one of the pieces from the R2P website – we just want to take out as much stress for you as possible. PRO-TIP: Time your monologue by saying it OUT-LOUD — you'll be surprised how short a paragraph of text it takes to be in that sweet 30-60 second range.

  • We'll be looking for you to be audible, interesting, and confident. Even if you're nervous, pretend you're not (it's about acting after all!), and we won't know the difference. You should know who you are talking/singing to and why. What are you trying to convince them of? What effect do you want to have on them by saying this? A song is just a monologue that you act while singing – remember that it’s not just about the notes, but also how the character feels. You should have your songs and monologue memorized. During the dance audition, sure we are interested in dance ability, but also a good attitude, the willingness to learn, and a commitment to trying.

  • We typically rehearse on Sundays from 1-9pm (with a 45 minute dinner break) and Tuesday/Thursdays from 5:30-9:00pm. HOWEVER – most people are not called for most of the time – we only call people for the specific things we’ll be rehearsing at any given time. So for example, we might call you from 2:30-3:45pm to rehearse the number we’re working on, but you wouldn’t be called for the rest of the day if you’re not in the scenes/songs we’re working on during those times. These rehearsals generally go on for about 9 or 10 weeks.

    The week of the show, everyone is call for the full time. Tech week rehearsals usually consist of a few hours on the Saturday before the show to “load-in” (setting up the scenery, bringing in the costumes, etc.) and then 1-9pm on Sunday. Weekdays are generally daily rehearsals from 5:00-9:30pm until the show opens.

    We let people know the schedule as we go along – publishing the schedule too far in advance is only a recipe for schedules getting out of date when things we work on take longer than expected, when conflicts appear, or because we shift priorities of what to work on next. You should be able to attend all or most rehearsals that you are called for, including ALL technical rehearsals and performances, including post-show strike (where we take everything apart and put it all away).

  • We’ve been doing this for a long time. We will consider your strengths and the needs of the shows across the season. If you let us know that you’re only available for one show, and we think that show isn’t a good fit for you, we may offer you a place in a different show. It's our job to put people in the places we feel they will have the most success, and that might even mean offering you a place in a show that you didn’t expect.

  • Yes. We don't cut anyone and work hard to find the best match for each person within the season. Everyone is offered a place in at least one performance per season. You don't necessarily get to pick which show you are offered. We do our best to find the place where we feel you will have the most success.

  • Callbacks are another round of auditions in which we have people sing and/or read material for particular roles from shows being cast. A callback for one role might actually serve for several similar roles in a show, so being called back for a particular role doesn’t mean you are auditioning just for that role.

    If you do not receive a callback it DOES NOT mean you are not cast in a show. We only have so much time for callbacks, and we use it to find out what we don’t yet know and need to figure out in terms of appropriate castings. We also sometimes call people back for a variety of educational reasons, such as gaining the experience of auditioning alongside others. Please do not try to read too much into callbacks – there are lots of reasons why someone is or is not called back for a particular role, or at all.

    Callback will be held on June 17, 19 and 21 at the Just Be Cause Center (1013 West State St., Ithaca - directions). Specific callback schedules will be posted after the initial round of auditions.

  • Don't envy the people doing the casting. While it's a wonderful job (getting to see and hear courageous young people lay it all on the line is inspiring beyond words), we know that it also means breaking hearts from time to time.

    Paramount for us is putting everyone where they will have the most success. It's not unusual for an ambitious, capable, and brave young first-timer to wonder why they didn't get a lead role or even a callback. Please know this:

    We would never want to make someone happy the day the list comes out, nervous as rehearsals approach, anxious about struggling with the role, scared for the performances, and then sad and regretful after it's all done. We want everyone to succeed, whatever shape that happens to take.

  • You bet! You’ll have opportunities and invitations to help with sets, costumes, props, stage management, concessions, etc. You're not required to, but ask anyone who has – it’s a ton of fun, and you’ll learn a lot in the process! You can indicate areas of interest when you sign up to audition – but we always cast you first and then look at these areas of interest. If working on the production/tech side is your main thing, fill out the form below!

  • You should be prepared to tell us who you are and what your pieces are from. A complete summary of the play or situation isn't necessary. (Honestly, sometimes we’re asking just so we can write it down and jog our memory when we’re reviewing our notes later.)

  • Do your best to be prepared. (Although more important than being perfectly prepared is simply showing up!)

    And remember, we're rooting for you to do great! We know that auditions can be nerve-wracking. (Believe us, we've done them, too!) Just keep in mind we want to see and hear everyone do well -- we're your biggest fans!

Here’s where you’ll find all the info specific to the audition process. If you’re new to R2P, first of all – WELCOME! And if you haven’t read through the R2P FAQs, check them out. Chances are you’ll find helpful answers to your questions. And if you still need to know more, contact us!

NOTE: Auditions are over for this round. While some of the dates and details below are specific to our most recent auditions, the general info will remain basically the same. We left it there to give you an idea of what to expect for the next set of auditions.

R2P2GO

If you’re looking for information specific to auditions for R2P2GO, you’ve come to the right place. The info in this purple section is for R2P2GO, while the audition info below with the white background is for our general auditions. Please note that the general audition info will be updated before our next round. As always, if you have questions, please email info@runningtoplaces.org or call/text 607-216-8750.

Click a topic to learn more…

  • R2P2GO is a traveling musical revue. We will visit senior living facilities, school programs, and community events to sing showtunes for audiences across our community. These performances are intended to be community service and give-back, as much as they are concerts.

  • Anyone in grades 6-12 is invited to audition. Because the performances will consist of entire songs (mostly solos) with more independence than even our typical shows, R2P2GO may not be the ideal venue for the newest and least experienced company members. If you are not selected for R2P2GO right away, don’t worry – we’ll be reauditioning regularly and we’ll still find a place for you elsewhere in the season (once we announce it).

  • The auditions will be entirely virtual with songs submitted by video. This means you get as many "takes" as you like until you're satisfied with your audition, and you can submit it any time from January 21 until February 4. Singers should prepare a whole song that they'd be interested in performing for R2P2GO. (We know that ordinarily, we only ask for a short section of a song for auditions and that preparing an entire song takes a different level of independent work – that's intentional, since R2P2GO will require the participants to operate more independently than for a conventional show.)

  • Singers should consider songs that will have appeal over a wide range of ages. (Golden classics like Rodgers & Hammerstein, love songs, funny songs – all great places to start. That angsty contemporary one with all the swear words? Maybe save it for another time.)

  • Click here to sign up. You will fill out the full form as you would for any other R2P audition. After registering, be sure to check your email for a link to create your User Account. Creating your user account will not only save you time in the future (thanks to our new online database system, you won't ever have to fill out that whole form again!), but also that's where you will upload your photo and your audition video.

  • Once you’ve created your User Account via the link in the email you’ll get after filling out the form, you can log in. You’ll see a dropdown that says “What would you like to do?”

    Selecting “Update My Profile” will not only let you edit any info you provided on your form, but also you can click the button to “Upload a New Photo.” Please upload a photo that clearly shows your face to help us get to know you.

    You can then select “My Files” from the dropdown, which is where you can click the link to “Upload a New Document.” This is where you will submit your audition video. Please note that once you upload it, you won’t have the option to edit or delete the file. (We can at our end, if you let us know.) Once you’ve uploaded your audition video, we’ve got it and you’re done!

  • We will evaluate the audition videos and contact everyone to let them know one way or the other. If you are selected, we’ll be in touch to coordinate your availability with our performance opportunities. (Not everyone will do every performance.) If you are not selected, take heart – you will have other opportunities to practice and improve, and perhaps you’ll be part of R2P2GO in the future. Meanwhile, you will have auditioned for R2P – which means you’re IN! When we announce our plans for the rest of the 2022 season, you can reaudition or we can simply base casting on your R2P2GO audition, and you’re done! As is always the case in R2P, we will find a place for everyone who auditions somewhere in the season.

What are the requirements to audition?

  • Be in grades 6 – 12 (or the homeschool equivalent)

  • Email to auditions@runningtoplaces.org or turn in a hard-copy of the Required Signature page signed by the participant and a parent/guardian (if you're under 18).

  • Show up – in person or by video.

How can I learn how to audition?

It just so happens that we periodically offer audition technique workshops. We will teach you all sorts of tips and tricks to have a better audition experience. Stay tuned to hear about when we’ll be offering our next round of workshops – sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Instagram @runningtoplaces.

Any advice for folks auditioning for the first time?

Show up. That's it. Simply walk in the door for the auditions.

But I don't know if I'm good enough!

You are. You don't have to be perfect. You don't need any experience or special skills. You just need to show up.

But I'm nervous!

Understandable. It's okay to be nervous. We promise to be nicer than you are nervous. Just show up.

But I'm not as prepared for the audition as I should be!

So what! You'll get better at all this with some practice – and you will get practice once you're doing shows with us, which you automatically will be no matter how your audition goes as long as you simply… show up. :)

What do the auditions consist of?

The auditions will consist of singing, acting, and dancing. You have the option of submitting an audition by video or in person.

IN-PERSON:
The singing and acting will take place during individual 5-minute slots. You will sing roughly 30-60 seconds of a song of your choice (around 16-32 measures) and perform a 30-60 second memorized monologue. You may be asked to sing some scales, and we'll probably chat a little. The dancing will take place in a group. As a group, you will learn a short dance combination suitable for dancers of all levels, rehearse it several times, and then perform it in groups a couple of times for the directors.

BY VIDEO:
You will record videos of you singing roughly 30-60 seconds of a song of your choice (around 16-32 measures) and perform a 30-60 second memorized monologue. For the dance portion, we will provide a simple, short video of choreography for you to practice on your own and record yourself performing. The choreography video will be available soon. Once you have your videos ready, please email them to “auditions@runningtoplaces.org”.

How can I find audition songs and monologues?

You can choose songs from musicals (listen to The Best of Broadway on 91.7 WICB every Sunday morning from 10am-12pm for ideas.) or movies. You can find monologues in plays, books, movies or TV shows. The library and the good old interwebs are great places to look.

In case you need a head start looking for materials, we've created a page with songs and monologues that you are welcome to use. There is neither any advantage nor disadvantage to using one of the pieces from the R2P website – we just want to take out as much stress for you as possible. PRO-TIP: Time your monologue by saying it OUT-LOUD — you'll be surprised how short a paragraph of text it takes to be in that sweet 30-60 second range.

What are you looking for in an audition?

We'll be looking for you to be audible, interesting, and confident. Even if you're nervous, pretend you're not (it's about acting after all!), and we won't know the difference. You should know who you are talking/singing to and why. What are you trying to convince them of? What effect do you want to have on them by saying this? You should have your songs and monologue memorized. During the dance audition, sure we are interested in dance ability, but also a good attitude, the willingness to learn, and a commitment to trying.

How do I decide if I can make the time commitment to a particular show?

You should be able to attend all or most rehearsals that you are called for, including ALL technical rehearsals and performances, including post-show strike.

If I’m auditioning by video, what should I do?

You can record your auditions on a phone – no fancy cameras or microphones are needed. Despite what movie aficionados say, shooting vertically is fine. We want to see your whole person head-to-toe while you perform, so make sure it’s not just a close-up of your face. Assuming you don’t have a live pianist to accompany you (most people don’t), you can sing to a YouTube karaoke track. (We don’t want to hear the original singer on the track – just you!)

Be sure to “slate” at the beginning of your video. That just means introduce yourself and your piece. For example, you might say, “Hi, my name is Corky St. Clair, and this song is called “A Penny for Your Thoughts” from the musical “Red, White, and Blaine.”

Is it better to audition in-person or by video?

The short answer is that it doesn’t matter – as long as you audition! Either way, you will be part of R2P – we take everyone, and no one gets cut.

Auditioning by video has the advantage of letting you do as many takes as you like. Unlike the in-person auditions, no one will be sitting behind a table watching your audition (which, despite our sincere big smiles, some people find intimidating). Plus, you can rehearse your song with the actual accompaniment that you’ll be performing to, as opposed to a spontaneous duet with a pianist. Some folks find it less scary to audition by video. If that is you, then go for it!

Auditioning in-person has the advantage of being more informative for the directors you’re auditioning for. After all, we’re trying to learn about how you would be to work with in a live, in-person piece of theatre, so seeing you perform live is helpful to us. We also get the chance to get to know you a little better at an in-person audition. After all, we can chat, ask you questions, answer any of your questions, have you sing some scales to get to know your voice better, etc.

Bottom line is – we don’t care which way you audition, as long as you do!

Will there be a piano and accompanist? Do I bring a copy of my music?

Yes, we will provide a piano accompanist. You should bring a copy of the music clearly marked with "Start" and "Stop" at the beginning and end of the part you will be singing. (Literally, write those words on the music so the accompanist knows where to begin and end.) You will have a moment before going in to audition with the accompanist to review your “Start” and “Stop” and discuss the tempo you prefer. If necessary, you may also sing without accompaniment if don't have the music, though an accompanied audition is more informative of what you can do musically, so it's better for both you and us.

FOR VIDEO AUDITIONS: You may perform to karaoke tracks (like what you find on YouTube) or with live piano if you have access. There is no inherent benefit to either approach – do whatever works best for you!

What should I bring the day of the audition?

  • A completed and signed hard-copy of the Required Signature page (unless you’ve emailed a completed and signed copy to auditions@runningtoplaces.org). This includes information like a photo release (so we have permission to take photos of you in the shows) and other legal requirements. You can also have your parent/guardian fill it out the day of audition.

  • Your music for the pianist, clearly marked with the place to “Start” and “Stop” playing.

  • Your monologue if you want to look it over while waiting. You don't need to bring it into the audition itself.

  • A change of clothing and/or shoes for your dance audition, if you wish.

  • Water and perhaps some healthy snacks!

  • NOTE: If you are auditioning by video, you can email your videos to auditions@runningtoplaces.org.

  • ALSO: If you are auditioning in person, please know that all R2P staff involved in the audition have been fully vaccinated. The audition room is very large and well ventilated, and will allow for ample distance.

  • ADDITIONALLY: Masks are allowed during your audition if you wish.

What should I wear for the dance audition?

You don't necessarily need to wear dance clothes or shoes (although you are encouraged to if you have them), but you should be able to move comfortably. Jeans, boots, short skirts, and excessive jewelry are not recommended. You will also have time to change between your audition slot and the dance audition, if you wish.

Who will be watching my audition?

The only folks watching the open audition will be the people involved in working on the shows, like the director, music director, choreographer, and an accompanist. We do not allow friends or relatives to sit in on auditions. The only time other students will be present is during the group dance audition. Callbacks will involve groups of students called for roles.

How will the directors remember who everyone is when casting?

You do not need to bring a headshot or other photograph. We will take a picture when you arrive and video record the audition for our reference when casting later. You will also be given a name tag to fill out and wear. If you are auditioning by video, it’s important to “slate” (introducing yourself and your piece) before you begin.

How does R2P decide what shows and roles are right for me?

We’ve all been doing this for a long time. We will consider your strengths and the needs of the shows across the season. It's our job to put people in the places we feel they will have the most success, and that might even mean offering you a place in a show that you didn’t expect.

If I audition, am I guaranteed to be cast in something?

Yes. We don't cut anyone and work hard to find the best match for each person within the season. Everyone is offered a place in at least one performance per season. You don't necessarily get to pick which show you are offered. We do our best to find the place where we feel you will have the most success.

What are callbacks – and what if I don’t receive one at all or for a show I’m interested in?

Callbacks are another round of auditions in which we have people sing and/or read material for particular roles from shows being cast. A callback for one role might actually serve for several similar roles in a show, so being called back for a particular role doesn’t mean you are auditioning just for that role. If you do not receive a callback it DOES NOT mean you are not cast, or even that you are not cast in a supporting or lead role. We only have so much time for callbacks, and we use it to find out what we don’t yet know and need to figure out in terms of appropriate castings. We also sometimes call people back for a variety of educational reasons, such as gaining the experience of auditioning alongside others. Please do not try to read too much into callbacks – there are lots of reasons why someone is or is not called back for a particular role, or at all.

What if I am disappointed with the casting?

Don't envy the people doing the casting. While it's a wonderful job (getting to see and hear courageous young people lay it all on the line is inspiring beyond words), we know that it also means breaking hearts from time to time.

Paramount for us is putting everyone where they will have the most success. It's not unusual for an ambitious, capable, and brave young first-timer to wonder why they didn't get a lead role or even a callback. Please know this:

We would never want to make someone happy the day the list comes out, nervous as rehearsals approach, anxious about struggling with the role, scared for the performances, and then sad and regretful after it's all done. We want everyone to succeed, whatever shape that happens to take.

Any other tips for my audition?

You should be prepared to tell us who you are and what your pieces are from. A complete summary of the play or situation isn't necessary. You should put your focus straight out while you speak/sing (so we can see your smiling face), but look over our heads – not right at us. This way, we won't feel like we need to act in the scene with you, and you won't be distracted when we look down to write, "nice job!" or "would be good to play _____."

FOR VIDEO AUDITIONS: You will need to “slate” at the beginning of your videos – that just means clearly saying your first and last name, as well as the title of the piece you are about to perform.

What do I need to know about the shows covered in these auditions?

As we are still finalizing dates and venues, we are not able to announce the titles for our 2022 season at this time. We will announce the titles asap!

When and where are the auditions?

TBD. We’ll update this page and spread the word via our newsletter and social media when the time comes.

Any final audition thoughts?

Do your best to be prepared. (Although more important than being perfectly prepared is simply showing up!) Be well rested and nourished. Arrive in plenty of time to check in with the stage manager at the sign-in table, get your picture taken, turn in required paperwork, relax, get a drink of water, etc. before your audition. And remember, we're rooting for you to do great! We know that auditions can be nerve-wracking. (Believe us, we've done them, too!) Just keep in mind we want to see and hear everyone do well -- we're your biggest fans!

Now that you’ve read through all of the Audition FAQs…

How do I sign up to audition?

Regardless of whether you are auditioning by video or in-person, the first thing to do is fill out the long Auditionee Info Form which will cover everything from your contact info to your experience (if any) to your known conflicts and more. Be sure to fill that out BEFORE signing up for an in-person audition time or before you send in your videos.
