Age Requirement: Actors must be 9 years or older by the first day of auditions (March 10th, 2025) in order to audition for this production.

The Auditions: Auditions are the actors' opportunity to showcase their acting and vocal talents, as well as their personality and ability to prepare. Although singing is important, remember what we really want to see is who you are!

Prior to the auditions, you must submit an Online Audition Form. Performers are then encouraged to make an appointment via Sign Up Genius. Those without an appointment will be seen on a walk-in basis, as time permits. 

Audition Requirements: Please come prepared to sing approximately 16-32 bars of music. We encourage your song choice to relate to the style and story of Seussical but ask you not to audition with a song from the show. Please bring your own instrumental or karaoke track, as there will not be a pianist present. A bluetooth speaker will be provided. We recommend downloading or screen recording your track to your device prior to your audition, as to avoid any potential connectivity issues.

This production is rated ‘PG’

Performances May 23rd - June 14th 2025

CDC Guidelines: There is no current mask mandate, but you are welcome to be masked for your own safety. Masks may be enforced throughout the rehearsal process. Guidelines are subject to change.

Video Auditions: If you are unable to make the general auditions (we strongly recommend an in person audition), an accompanied video recording of the required materials specified above may be submitted before March 11th at 8:00 PM to SelmaArtsCenterAuditions@gmail.com. Please send via unlisted YouTube link. However, you MUST attend the mandatory callback (should you be called back) on March 12th at 6:30 PM in order to be considered for a role. If this is not possible, please email our director, Toph Ortiz, at cortizbelcher@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.

The Callbacks: Callbacks provide our creative team with an opportunity to see the actors’ abilities and versatility when applied to the production. The callbacks will be split into three sections; a singing round, a dancing round and an acting round. As we will be asking many things of you, please dress in whatever you’re most comfortable in and be prepared for movement!
