Below, click on the button that says "Fill out form".
From there, upload your video audition file and click "Submit".
For students submitting a SINGING audition, you may sing any song you like OR you may choose to sing one of the songs we will be using in the musical, esp if there is one you particularly hope to sing in the show. We will be listening for the student's ability to carry a tune 😉 and for his/her voice range. The songs in the show (they will have completely different words!) are: "Boring Town" (aka "Belle" from Beauty & the Beast), "I'm Still Praising" (aka "I'm Still Standing" by Elton John), "We Don't Talk about Saul" (aka "We Don't Talk about Bruno" from Encanto), "Who Is He" (original by Kendra Bryan & Jess Eckdahl), "I Can See Clearly Now" (aka "I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash), "Calls Us Children" (aka "Call Me Maybe'" by Carly Rae Jepsen), & "Out Here" (aka "Knee Deep" by Zach Brown). Please state your name at the start of your video audition.
For students submitting an ACTING audition, you may choose one of the script pieces provided below and record yourself as one (OR more!!) of the characters in that scene. (You may have a friend/parent read the lines for the other parts OR even better, you may act out all the parts!!) Please state your name at the start of your video audition. We are looking for expression, volume, the ability to use different voices if needed and the ability to memorize lines.
For students not desiring a speaking part or singing solo, you do not need to submit an audition. Simply fill out the registration form.
All students will be in the song & dance ensemble upon completion of registration.
NOTE: There are no guarantees that you will get the role you are hoping for but we do take into consideration the role size you are interested in. We will choose roles that we think are best for everyone and appreciate your kindness and understanding as we navigate through the auditions. It's going to be great and there are many fun roles; some of the best ones are the one-liners!
Audition deadline: Auditions are due June 21st.
Timeline for notification of parts: We expect to cast parts and notify students within a week
NOTE: You will need to have a google/gmail account and be logged in before uploading your video.
Part of Scene 4 - Hunting down Christians
Paul: I'll never forget Stephen’s face. It's like he was looking right at God. And then he
said, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them. And then he died.
Julia: Where were you?
Paul: I was right there watching. I held the coats of those who killed him. I was so angry.
It was then that I decided I was going to do everything possible to stop these
Christians. I hated them. I hated their teachings, and I hated their Jesus. How
could Jesus, this uneducated carpenter, be God's promised Messiah?
Julia: Jesus, yeah, I've heard about him, but I thought he was dead.
Paul: That's what I thought, too. And I was determined to kill anyone who claimed He
was alive. I went to the high priest and got permission to travel throughout the
country hunting down these Christians ... to have them killed.
Lucia: Kill. Oh wow, look at the time. I think the poop deck needs swabbing. Come on,
let's go.
Julia: No way! I wanna hear what happens. Did you really go hunt down Christians?
Paul: Yeah.
Julia: Women and children, too?!
Paul: Yeah.
Julia: Wow, that's really bad.
Paul: I know. Everywhere I went, Christians ran and hid. I can't even imagine what they
thought of me.
Part of Scene 7 - The Road to Damascus
Young Paul: You two are the slowest, most directionally challenged, bumbling fools I've
ever met! I wanna get to Damascus before I die of old age!
Isidor: Saul, he really likes to fuss.
Fuzzy: …Fuss, fuss, fuss…he always likes to scream… at us!
Isidor: Saul, he wants to cause Christians harm.
Fuzzy: He's very, very short on charm!
Isidor: Fuzzy, you're so good at rhyming.
Fuzzy: Yes, yes, it’s all in the timing.
Young Paul: Would you two be quiet!
Isidor: Fuzzy, are there Christians ahead?
Fuzzy: If there are, they'll soon be dead!
Young Paul: No more rhymes till we’re there! I mean it!
Fuzzy: Anybody want a peanut? (pulls a peanut out of his pocket and hold it up)
Part of Scene 15 - Julia and Lucia Pray
Lucia: I was just wondering ... I know I'm a servant and all ... but can a servant talk to
God too?
Paul: God loves to hear from servants.
Lucia: Really?
Paul: Anybody can talk with God.
Lucia: Awesome.
Julia: Ok, everybody, be quiet. I'm getting ready to talk with God. God, I'm Julia ... but
you probably already know that. Um ...I don't like my life right now.
In fact, I don't even like who I am. I've made a lot of mistakes. I snuck on this boat and met this guy Paul ... and he told me about you. How you died on the cross for me. You really changed his life, and I want you to change mine too. I mean, I'm giving it to you. My life. I want to go on an adventure with you and let you lead the way. Thank you. Good day and ... goodbye ... sir.
(Paul motions to Lucia)
Lucia: Mighty God, I know I'm just a servant, but if I could serve anyone in the whole
world ... I'd want it to be you because you're fair and good and kind.
You love me so much that you let your son die for me. He kinda was a servant
to me. To all of us. And I don't deserve it. I might not be a very good servant, but you're a great master and I give you my life. Like Julia did. I love you so much. Good day and goodbye, sir. Did it work? Did He hear us?
Paul: He heard. In fact, all of heaven heard and is rejoicing over you because YOU are
a child of god.
Scene 17- Don’t Wake Mommma
(NOTE: Publius has a Jamaican accent)
Publius: Dare you all are! We’re roasting a pig in de back yard for de god Paul.
Paul: Look, about that...
Momma: Pubey, is that you?
Publius: Oh no, we woke me momma!
Lucia: Is that bad?
Publius: Oh mon. Me momma, she sweet, but she like to bubble.
Lucia: She likes to bubble?
Publius: BUBBLE!
Lucia: Bubble?
Publius: Bubble! She bubbles on and on all day long!
Lucia: She blows bubbles all day?
Publius: She bubbles! You know. Bubble bubble bubble bubble.
Lucia: Oh, she babbles.
Publius: Dats what I said, mon! She bubbles! You gotta hide... You gotta be real still
mon. Be still like a statue!
Momma: Pubey! How’s my Pube! (to Lucia) I love your soft skin, your long hair, you’re
Lovely teeth.
Publius: Uh...Dat not me, momma. Dat dare’s an idol.
Momma: Oh, I love these new idols. You know what else I love!? Asparagus, themed
calendars, samples at the grocery store. You know I was at the grocery store the
other day...
Publius: Hey, momma... (Publius tries to think of something)... can you go get me a
sandwich?
Momma: Sure, I’d love to! You know that reminds me of the thing the man at the meat
market said. He said–wait a minute...what was the thing? (leaves muttering to
herself)
Lucia: So what’s with all these idols?
Publius: Oh, these are de idols of me family. Dey represent de gods we serve. Don’t
you have idols?
Luke: Uhm no, actually we don’t believe in idols. You see, we serve the one and only
God, and He told us not to make any idols.
Publius: De only God? You mean to tell me my gods don’t exist! Dat not cool, mon. Not
cool at all. How do udder people feel when you tell em dere gods don’ be
existing?
Paul: Well, different people react differently. Sometimes their hearts are ready to
receive the truth and sometimes…. They’re not there yet. I remember a time in
Ephesus…
