SUMMER 2026 SEASON

How We Work

 

Winter Springs Performing Arts is an educational theatre. Once you have an audition slot, you are guaranteed placement in one of our shows. Your audition will help us understand what level you are performing at and what you need to learn. You will be placed in the production(s) that will best support your theatre education.

​

What to Prepare

 

You may choose to print and fill out an audition form and bring it (SIGNED BY A PARENT OR GUARDIAN) to your audition slot. If a parent or guardian will be present at the audition, you may choose to fill out an audition form provided by us on the day of.

For our Junior Shows:
In-Person Audition (preferred)

Please prepare 16-32 bars (30-60 seconds) of a song of your choice - a musical theatre song in the style of the show (not from the show) is highly encouraged, but songs from the show are preferred over a non-musical theatre cut. If you are newer to auditioning, you may sing any song you feel confident in! You may sing acapella, with a track on a device/speaker that you bring with you, or bring sheet music and an accompanist will be provided.

 

All auditions will also include a dance call. As such, please wear clothes and shoes that you can dance in (leggings, tights, sneakers, jazz shoes, etc.). Long pants or tights are highly recommended.

​

Callbacks will be held at the first rehearsal of each show.

​

Virtual Audition (if your student cannot attend the in-person auditions) 
Please video yourself performing TWO things: 16-32 bars (30-60 seconds) of a song of your choice  and the provided dance call, which can be found at the bottom of this page. A musical theatre song in the style of the show (not from the show) is highly encouraged, but songs from the show are preferred over a non-musical theatre cut. If you are newer to auditioning, you may sing any song you feel confident in! You may sing acapella or with a track on a device/speaker. Please make sure that the video of the song cut includes the performer's entire upper body, the face is clear, and the camera isn't too far away. Additionally please make sure that the lighting is bright enough that we can see their face! Videos can be uploaded to youtube (unlisted) or to Google Drive (please turn on sharing permissions) and then the link can be uploaded in the audition form. For the dance video, please make sure that the camera includes their entire body. Please make sure that the performers wear clothes that they can move in. These can be two separate videos, videoed in one take, or two separate videos edited together and submitted as one. Please have the student slate at the beginning of the video with their name and the song they will be singing.

​

Virtual auditions for any of the Jr. productions must be submitted by a date soon to be announced to be considered with the in-person auditions. If there is space in any of the Jr. programs after initial show placements, additional virtual auditions after the deadline will be placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
