SPRING 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.

​

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.

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.
