What to Expect at Auditions
Prepared Monologue: All auditionees should present a memorized monologue, approximately 60 seconds in length.
Musical Theatre Auditions: In addition to the monologue, candidates should prepare 16–32 measures of a musical selection. Accompaniment tracks must be provided on a personal device, which can be connected via Bluetooth to BCT’s speaker system.
Movement/Dance: A brief choreographed combination will be taught during auditions. Please wear appropriate footwear that allows safe and comfortable movement; sandals are not permitted.

We encourage all auditionees to arrive prepared, focused, and ready to engage fully in each component of the audition process.
