Auditions

All our performer positions are filled through an audition process. Country Tonite holds open live auditions once a year at the theater for the following season.

Singers: Please bring a current headshot and resume. Prepare 2-3 contemporary/classic country songs that show various styles and range. Please limit songs to 90 seconds each. An accompanist will not be provided, so please bring your musical track on MP3 or CD format.

Dancers: Please bring a current headshot and resume. Dancers should be trained in many styles of jazz, ballet, musical theater, country western, clogging, modern ballroom, and partnering.

For the audition, prepare a short dance combination. You will be asked to present any special skills you have and you will also be required to partner. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to audition time, warm up and be ready to dance at your scheduled time. Wear appropriate clothing suitable for dancing, including dance shoes. Callbacks will be immediately following the dance audition.

Singers/Dancers: should refer to the singer and dancer information above, as you will need to be strong in both areas.

NOTE: Dancers will be auditioned first followed by singers. Those auditioning as a singer/dancer will stay for both auditions. Those auditioning as a singer/dancer should be a technically trained dancer as well as a strong singer.

Musician/Vocalist: Please bring a current headshot and resume. Prepare 2-3 contemporary/classic country songs that show your musical skills. Please limit songs to 90 seconds each.
