Something New Has Been Added!

A new feature has been introduced to the MTCA weekend for 2010. On Friday evening auditions for a PRODUCTION NUMBER will be held. Auditioning students will learn a new dance routine, review the music sent out prior to the auditions, and then audition for professional directors and choreographers.This musical theatre addition is to give the students an opportunity to participate in a “Cattle Call” audition. Students will be integrated so they will meet other students from around the country during the evening. 40 students from all the participants will be cast, with each school represented.

Friday

Report to MTCA for participant auditions for the production number staged at the end of Saturday. A professional director and a professional choreographer will organize and direct this audition; specifics to follow.
