Thank you to everyone who came out for our auditions!
136 people  auditioned for The Music Man.  Your hard work and preparation is greatly appreciated.  Unfortunately, the stage cannot accommodate that many people.  Those who are cast will be notified by January 28th. If you are not cast, and you have other skills such as sewing or would like to work as an usher, we hope you will consider participating in another way.

Audition FAQs

Are there any Cast Fees?
Yes and no. HCST Main Stage does not charge any fees. You are expected to do your part to hang posters, advertise, and help sell tickets to people you know. In exchange, you may receive a  comp ticket. You are also given the opportunity to purchase T-shirts and a cast photo. 

Do you have the rehearsal schedule yet?
The schedule is based on the information that you give us about your conflicts and the building space availability. The directors work hard to make rehearsals work for the entire cast. The rehearsal calendars will be handed out at the first rehearsal.

When do rehearsals start?
Rehearsals start in April. 
Since there are adults in the production-- rehearsals never start before 6:30 PM  except on Saturdays. (NORMALLY,  we do not rehearse on Sundays and Fridays until Tech Week.)
