Auditions
Auditions for ensemble placement in the 2022-2023 season will be conducted via self-recorded video (smartphone videos are okay!) and will consist of two steps. Instructions for submitting a video audition will be emailed after the registration process has been completed. Spring Term registration is open! Auditions for Spring Term, which begins in early March, will continue to be accepted and placements will be made on a rolling basis through mid-April. Spring Term rehearsals begin March 11th or 12th and tuition is prorated to reflect a partial year enrollment.
If you are unable to submit a video audition, please complete the registration process and check the box at the end of the registration form that indicates you need an alternate way to audition and you will be contacted by MYS staff.
