Straw Hats (& other summer auditions) - Summer 2016

Only a letter that acknowledged registration. Still waiting to find out if given audition slot.

Same! Let me know if you hear anything!

S just completed VERY long day at MUNY open call dance auditions. Approximately 250 girls and 110 guys.

@mom4bwayboy Hope he gets it. I was a Muny dancer. SO much fun-a great way to spend summers. Good luck to him.

FYI, there is a way to check the Straw-Hat audition status online. Go to the Members section and log in. It will show the date your application was processed, then EVENTUALLY show if you got an audition slot or not. Once it is processed, you can also do an Actor Search and find your photo and resume uploaded. My daughter’s first attempt with mailing in application was never received, so we sent a 2nd time (with tracking). It shows it was received 1/8 but does not yet say if she has an audition slot or not.

@mom4bwayboy MUNY has a great season! Wonderful place to work… my son booked two summers and LOVED working there. BAL!

My daughter withdrew her application to StrawHat yesterday. She is cast in an Equity show for 16 weeks so we’re all pretty happy about that! Good luck to everyone!

Congrats to your daughter!

My S just called me, he just finished auditioning for Pittsburgh CLO and got a call back for this Sunday. He is so excited and really wants to book one of their shows, saying prayers for him and keeping my fingers crossed. It would be a wonderful opportunity :slight_smile: Break Legs for everyone auditioning this weekend for Pittsburgh CLO

@Inspired59 PCLO is a great place to work! My son worked there the last two summers.

@lojosmo … thanks, is your S auditioning this year? @mom4bwayboy … Wishing your S the best at his audition!!!

Thanks @Inspired59, we’ll see what Saturday brings at PCLO. . . BAL to your S on Sunday.

@Inspired59, The D saw your son there. She is super excited to have gotten a callback too. I call it the MUNY of PIttsburgh and even a callback feels like a win. Saying prayers for both of them and every other kid I know coming in for auditions this weekend!

@Inspired59 Not this year… he graduated in May and is on to other things this year… a really nice project in fact! :slight_smile:

@lojosmo … how Wonderful!
Was it an easy transition from college into the professional world? This type of career is so exciting but challenging

^ He has been very fortunate… PCLO and MUNY which IS the professional world so kudos to your S. BAL!

Hey guys, I just got an email from NETC that I was accepted for an acting-only audition. Does this mean that I won’t be considered by any theaters for their musicals? I just want to know what to expect in the way of work that I have a chance of getting.

Yes, and, just as an aside, there were not that many straight theaters auditioning last year, and most of them were pay-for-play. I wouldn’t do it as an acting-only candidate personally, though people said last year that they knew people who booked as actors (in previous years).

Thank you very much @Jkellynh17!

Hi All. Daughter applied for Straw Hat (NYC) in early January and has been up on their site since January 8th, but still no word if she has an audition. Anyone else in this boat? It’s been 6 weeks now…
