Auditions are conducted individually and in front of a panel of production team members. All auditionees must be prepared for their audition and take the process seriously. Casting decisions are entirely at the discretion of the directors and are made in accordance with the specific requirements of the production.
Different audition processes are required for different casts. Please ensure you are preparing yourself for the role/s that you wish to audition for. We encourage our students to audition for as many roles as they would like to.
Students must sign up for an audition via the audition form on this website.
If required, some students will need to available for CALL BACKS
Please note the Rowville Secondary College Production Program requires a high level of commitment from all cast, crew and band members. Before you sign up for an audition please carefully consider the dates of Production Week and the Rehearsal period, including the compulsory camp.
It is an expectation for all involved that this will be prioritised over other commitments made after your acceptance of role in the production (cast, crew or band).
The Production Team appreciate the busy schedule of students and will try their best to accomodate the needs of students if prior commitments are made aware to the team at auditions.
