Step 1: Get your $50 Registration Fee waived

Register for the program and get your monthly payment plan set up by Jan 1 or Aug 1 to have your registration fee of $50 waived. (Returning families, please fill out the Procare registration form again with updated information about your student/s. We can now merge new registrations with existing accounts to update information.) If you are an adult who wants to participate in the stage play program, please fill out the registration for yourself as a student so that you can be included in program communication for the season.

Step 2: Sign Up for Auditions

Auditions will be on Saturday, January 11 from 9am-12pm (musical theater program) and 12pm-2pm (stage play program) with callbacks for both at 3:00pm. Sign up for a time slot on the form below. Prepare an audition monologue and song (30 seconds to 1 minute each). Students can choose any song but must choose a monologue from this document for their audition: TLK Auditions

After you fill out the audition form, we will add you to the schedule within 48 business hours. Click here to confirm the schedule here. Students will only audition for one time slot and can be considered for both programs. If you have any last-minute changes and need to change your audition time, email: info@worldupsidedown.org

Step 3: Attend the Free Audition Prep / Meet the Directors Workshop

Attend this workshop to meet the director team, meet other cast members, and learn tips and tricks for how to nail your audition. Adults participating in the stage play program will be invited to join Joanna Puello for an orientation meeting about the program.
Time: Thurs Jan 9, 5pm-8pm
Location: World Upside Down Arts Studio

Step 4: Confirm your commitment

We will announce casts for both musical theater and stage play programs by the end of the day on Sunday, January 12, 2025. Notifications will be sent via Procare messages. You must reply to accept your role and confirm your participation in the Spring program. 

If you confirm your commitment before Jan 1 / Aug 1, we will waive the $50 registration fee. If you confirm after auditions, we will charge you for the $50 registration fee and will set up monthly billing of $120/month. When you set up your payment method, Procare will default to autopay. You can change this at any time.

Step 5: Start Rehearsals

Rehearsals start the week of January 13 for both musical theater and stage play programs. We can’t wait to see you there!
