Country Gate Youth Performance Workshop Audition Prep

Thank you for registering for our youth workshop production of The Addams Family Musical Young@Part. We’re looking forward to sharing an enjoyable and beneficial experience.


The workshop style auditions will consist of the following:


-A group  ice-breaker/theatre game or two


-A vocal segment-

     - we will teach a short section of one of the songs from the show (When You're An Addams) to everyone.  You can listen to and practice the song below.  We'll rehearse several times as a group.  Then we'll give everyone  the choice of singing it by themselves or in a small group of 2 or 3. Although we'll practice with both the "Guide" and the "Instrumental Track", we'll ask everyone to sing with the "Instrumental Track" for their official audition.


(As an additional option, participants may choose to sing a prepared 16 bar selection of their choice and provide accompaniment by phone or sing Acappella.


Those interested in auditioning for a specific role, will also be asked to sing a selection as specified below. Again, the official audition will be with the "Instrumental Track".


     

Also, those enrollees interested auditioning for a principal (main) role in The Addams Family Musical Young@Part. may be asked to read from script selections, some of which are found here.   Printed copies of these scenes will be available at the audition.


Some light movement/dance exercises may also be facilitated.


Everyone who has received a confirmed registration and attends the audition session, will be included in the cast.  The audition helps us to create the most appropriate and beneficial means of participation for all involved..

When You're An Addams...

My daughter's getting married.

I can't believe it's true.

She doesn't ask her mother before she says I do.

And how about my husband

Incompetent, naive.

This evening's getting serious:

these Ohioans won't leave.


But I can't let these latest problems

rob me of my bliss.

For when I'm scared of true disaster,

I remember this:

Death is just around the corner

waiting patiently to strike.

One unplanned electrocution

that's the kind of end

I can comprehend.

When I'm feeling uninspired

Or I need a little spree

I'm reborn knowing

death is just around the corner

coming after me.



"Gomez" auditioners will be asked to sing this.

Just Around The Corner

"Morticia" auditioners will be asked to sing this.

When you're an Addams

You need to have a little moonlight

When you're an Addams

You need to feel a little chill

You have to see the world in shades of gray

You have to put some poison in your day
