Audition Expectations

From the Artistic Director...

Student auditions are an important part of your K2K Productions experience & growth!

Auditions are created to be fun and challenging and are for some a new experience. This process allows us to meet your student individually and consider their skills, ability, confidence and willingness to learn and take direction. We hope every student can walk away proud of what they have prepared and accomplished. We only want to encourage them through the entire process. 

Some students choose to not sing at their auditions and may prefer to talk about how they would like to be involved in the performances. This is welcomed and valuable for us to know and understand. Information on what to prepare will be shared during our first few weeks of program.

In selecting a cast, lead roles are sometimes seen as “the ultimate goal”….but, we do not agree. Students are placed in a variety of roles and our hope is that each and every one of them will make the very best of the opportunity they are given. A lead role in a previous year does NOT guarantee a lead role in the future. Our intention is to create opportunities for students to showcase their abilities, grow as individuals & artists - no matter the role they are given. K2K works hard in partnership with their Creative Team to highlight skills as presented. We believe performances showcase this philosophy. 

K2K Junior Company will have 2 separate casts this season to allow more opportunity for every student all year long and additional performance dates have been added too.  The vision and leadership for each Company will be the same. At times, specific characters from both casts may rehearse together; and at times, this will be done separately.  Siblings and those students commuting >30 mins for K2K will be casted in the same company. 

As we enter this season with your student, I encourage you to consider how you might cheer and encourage your student in preparing their audition and allowing their submission to be their very own. 

Each one of our students is richly blessed – we desire to help discover and share these gifts with integrity!
