MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM CALLBACK LIST

Thank you to all who auditioned! I was so impressed with your talent and courage. Please know this is our teen show, so I will not be calling back very many younger children even though you were wonderful.  Also, this is a show with VERY specific needs for each part. If you were not called back, please keep trying. Casting is not about who performed better or worse, it is about the part that is right for you.  If it wasn't right this time, it might be next time. We have acting classes coming up in January, which are a great way to hone those acting skills and to be in a small performance without nerve racking auditions.  :-)  Go to auburnact.org for upcoming events in Children's Theater.

Sincerely,
Kim Hirt
AACT Children's Theater Director

CALLBACKS

PLEASE be on time. Also, if you are new to theater, make sure you are prepared to do a lot of "hurry-up and wait!" We are as efficient as possible, but we want to make sure we see everything we need to from each actor and can't always predict how long it will take. Please be generous with each other and no matter what happens in the end, this can be a positive learning experience for everyone.  I’m very proud of the patience and professionalism I’ve seen so far, and I’m excited to see more in the days ahead!

VERY IMPORTANT: To ensure that we’ve reached every actor, please email the stage manager, Katie Kirk, at mamakatie.aact@gmail.com.  Just let her know that you’ve seen this list.  Thank you!

Call Back List for “A Successor to the Throne”
A note to the parents and children,
Thank you all so much for auditioning for “A Successor to the Throne”! I know it is a long and nerve wracking process. I am so proud of everyone who tried out! I was impressed with how talented everyone is.  Creating the call back list is so very difficult. Please know, I have lost sleep, and shed tears, knowing how disappointed some children will be this afternoon. There were 68 kids who tried out for 30 spots. I was truly so proud of every child who had the courage, and desire to try. If you didn’t make “call backs” please don’t be discouraged. Keep trying hard things,  keep singing, dancing, using your incredible imaginations!
I am doing the call backs a little differently than I had announced in emails I sent out, so please pay close attention! I would like the kids to come back in groups for 30 minutes at a time…

CAST LIST: Into the Woods Jr.

First of all I am overwhelmed by how wonderful you all were. Besides your talent I was so impressed with your generosity of spirit. I have never been to an audition where I saw so much sincere support for one another and joy in each other's successes. That makes this even harder. I want each of you to know that I try to be as completely fair and objective as possible. I cast who I think is sincerely best for the role, I do not play favorites. Please know that if you didn't make it, it does not mean you did not do well, I could have cast 3 shows with the amount of talent I had to pool from.  It just means that this role might not have been the right fit for you at this time. Please get all the education and experience you can for next time! We have Acting Classes starting in January and  Musical Theater Camp in the Summer. Also, keep in mind this is the Teen Show and there were very few younger people cast. Thank you so much for making this such a positive experience for everyone involved.

Sincerely,

Kim Hirt
AACT Children's Theater Director
