JLOS Auditions
We hold open auditions for our main show of the year normally in April or May. Both company members and non-members are invited to try for principal parts by singing and acting pre-arranged pieces of the show to be performed. The selecting panel comprises the director, musical director and a member of the company. Our usual accompanist Jan Cunningham provides musical backing.
Auditions are publicised on social media, and audition pieces are announced at least 2 weeks before.
Joining the Group
Successful candidates who are not members of the group will be invited to join, and hopefully will stay for future productions. A show fee will be payable for those who do not join, but just come in for the show. Auditions are open to non-members of JLOS. There's no audition fee but you will have to fill in a form, please.
