Murder in the House of Horrors Auditions

  • Logo for Murder in the House of Horrors

    Murder in the House of Horrors audition information is posted on the call board down the fine arts hall. If you plan on auditioning, add yourself to the Google Classroom using the code: s232drt. Once you have selected a side to read, submit the Google form Google Classroom of which side you will read and who you would like to read with. If you don't have a preference, you can say that in the Google form. Audition contracts are due September 19th, and auditions will be held on Monday, September 23rd after school. Once the bell rings, report to the fine arts hall to sign in and wait until your group is called in for auditions. You are not required to memorize your sides, but familiarize yourself with the script enough so that I can see your face and emotions when you are reading. Please wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to move around and show me any special skills you may have. I look forward to seeing you all on the 23rd!
