ABOUT YETI

We are so excited to announce that this summer, YETI will be producing 4 youth theater camps, as well as our first full-length musical; ZOMBIE PROM. Please note that this is NOT a camp. This is a full production that will rehearse 4-5 days per week, likely in the early evening. This also means while we would love to cast all of those who audition, the show only has so many roles available. We will likely be casting some ensemble members as understudies or swings depending on availability, amount of auditioners, and more. The show will be performed 3 times throughout one weekend for an open audience, meaning anyone can reserve tickets.

This show will have a cast of 12-18 year olds. Anyone in that age bracket is welcomed to audition, no matter their experience.

Please also note that we will send out a rehearsal calendar, as well as a daily call the evening before rehearsals letting everyone know who is called for rehearsal. Aside from certain leads, most of those cast may not be needed at every rehearsal, depending on what part of the show we are working on. Most actors can expect to be called on average 3-4 nights per week. If you have any conflicts, we will try to be as flexible as possible, but please include ALL conflicts when you fill out this audition form. Auditions will be held 2-4 weeks before rehearsals start, to give actors time to familiarize themselves with the material. We by no means expect actors to come in fully memorized, but we do expect them to come in familiar, and working daily towards the goal of memorization, so during rehearsals we can work on ensemble building, acting work, and other important elements of the show that we can only do in rehearsal with actors, the director, stage management, etc. We encourage all to come out and audition, whether they have beginner, intermediate, or advanced experience in theater.

Auditions:

Auditions will be in mid/late June at either Bluff City Theater, located at 212 Broadway, Hannibal, MO 63401, or our new rehearsal space a few blocks away. When we have a location finalized we will send out an email informing all who are signed up for the camp.

Those auditioning should prepare 1 32 (about 1 minute) bar cut from a musical theater song, and provide a link to their audition track with time stamps, which we will play for them over our speakers. If you have any questions about auditions, please email us at yeti.bluffcitytheater@gmail.com, or type your question in the notes box at the end of this form. We will be having callbacks, which will be the weekend after auditions. Those called back will be sent a song/songs to learn, as well as some short scenes from the show. Please note, just because you weren’t called back does not mean you won’t be cast. We could have simply seen enough to know where we want to cast you. All those who audition will be sent an email with the cast list, whether they are cast or not.

If you cannot cannot be at the auditions, please contact us at yeti.bluffcitytheater@gmail.com to schedule a different time, or for instructions on a video audition.

This show will be directed by Roland Meisler, with BCT’s artistic director Jayme Brown producing and supervising. Roland is a current student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he is studying theater. Roland has acted in over 15 productions, including play and musicals, ranging from college shows to professional regional theaters. Roland has also directed a handful of shows both in college and at Bluff City Theater. Roland has worked with many theater professionals, including Tony Nominated Joey Landwehr, Derrick Davis (Phantom of the Opera: Tour), and many more. Roland is so excited to be able to help bring theater to Hannibal this summer, and help young artists grow their knowledge and love for live theater.

*We strongly recommend packing snacks and beverages for each rehearsal. While we will have some snacks and beverages, due to any possible allergies, and food preferences, it is best, if possible, that every cast member has 1-2 snacks, and a beverage when they show up to camp each day.
