JOURNEY THEATER ARTS GROUP

Auditioning: Casting & Cuts

Journey Theater is an educational non-profit organization that values providing opportunities for kids to learn and grow through the theater arts performance experience.  Because of this core value, we ask our Artistic Team members to consider all auditioners fairly, consistently, and look for ways to incorporate as many kids as possible into their production. 

In our first years as an organization, we had one area with one venue.  It was not too long before we got to a point in production participation that we needed to “cut” kids from the show due to space constraints.  Also, students were growing in their skills through the classes they were taking.  We wanted to honor the students that had really taken time to prepare an audition that raised our standard of excellence and expectations. 

Eventually, the organization grew to a point where we felt confident to expand to multi-sites.  This expansion allowed us to go back to a “no cut” policy so we could once again accommodate the willing spirit of kids. 

As we grow, we still hold as a core value the philosophy of providing opportunities for kids; however, there ARE considerations that would perhaps cause a student to be “cut” from a production.  They are:

1.)   The venue can only safely accommodate a certain number of cast & crew.

2.)   The student is unable to demonstrate a complete audition. This may include the student needing to leave the stage, needing to start their audition over, not showing ample preparedness for the artistic team to get the information they need for casting criteria, etc.

3.)   The student demonstrates difficulty in maintaining behavioral standards either in Journey classes or in the audition/callback experience.  This would include inappropriate audience participation at open auditions and unfocused behavior at callbacks. 

4.)   The students’ parents have not demonstrated positive contribution to past committee obligations.

We want all Journey families to have a successful and positive show experience.  Therefore, it is important for us to follow these guidelines for the fair consideration and safety of all involved.

If you have questions about this policy, please direct your questions to:

God bless you all in the auditioning
