WHAT TO PREPARE:
Actors should prepare 16 bars (approx. 30-60 seconds) from a Broadway or Disney song of their choice, preferably by composer Alan Menken. No accompanist will be provided, so actors are asked to submit a link with their accompaniment track prior to their audition. Singing A Cappella is strongly discouraged. Auditioners are also asked to prepare one of the preselected monologues provided prior to the audition. Actors should be very familiar with the monologue, but do not have to be memorized. Auditioners may be asked to perform a cold reading at the audition with other actors in the audition room, if necessary. Audition monologues will be posted on Upright Theatre Company’s website prior to auditions. There will be no dance component at auditions, so once auditioners have been dismissed they are free to go.
Callbacks - Saturday, May 18th, 3:00pm - 6:00pm
Callbacks are invitation only, and actors will be notified if they are needed at callbacks via email. Not all who auditioned may be called back.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
Disney’s Aladdin JR. is based on the 1992 Academy Award®-winning film and the 2014 hit Broadway show about the “diamond in the rough” street rat who learns that his true worth lies deep within.
The story you know and love has been given the royal treatment! Aladdin and his three friends, Babkak, Omar, and Kassim, are down on their luck until Aladdin discovers a magic lamp and the Genie who has the power to grant three wishes. Wanting to earn the respect of the princess, Jasmine, Aladdin embarks on an adventure that will test his will and his moral character. With expanded characters, new songs, and more thrills, this new adaptation of the beloved story will open up “a whole new world” for young audiences!
