Auditions

Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl," and "Part of Your World."

Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above and bargains with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.

An accompanist will be provided.

Acting

Please come prepared to read one of the monologues provided here. Memorization is not required. You may be asked to also read another side or monologue from the show. Again memorization is not required, we just want you to have fun with it and add some character.

Dance (in-person)

Everyone will be required to learn choreography from the videos here. There are 2 sections. You can choose to only dance the first part in person or both. However, we’d love for you to give both parts a go! Please wear clothes that are comfortable for movement and shoes that are most comfortable for you, whether it’s sneakers, jazz shoes, or character heels.

Dance (tap - video submission only)

Additionally, if you are a tapper or if you’d like to try to learn to tap, please learn the tap combination here. The deadline to submit a your video is by 5pm, Wednesday, June 10th. Please submit videos here auditions@theatreguildsimsbury.org. This is not required for all dancers. Only for those who can tap.

We can’t wait to see you at auditions!

After years of bloodshed and carnage, the citizens of Crystal Lake, New Jersey have had enough. Having defeated Jason Voorhees the previous summer, the town put a set of rules in place outlawing all of the tropes and cliches commonly found in slasher movie scenarios: no sex, no drugs, no partying, no nothing!

It’s Friday, August 13th and the summer is nearly over. Camp Crystal Lake has, for the first time in decades, had a successful summer season. The townspeople of Crystal Lake, previously employed as police officers, paramedics, and crazy prophets of dooms, have all found new jobs. All seems well and good... until Jason Voorhees is once again resurrected.

The hockey-mask-wearing killer heads back to camp, just as the cracks begin to show in the resolve of the counselors. The hot couple committed to abstinence aren’t sure they can make it one more night. The nerdy jokester just wants to paint the town red. And the pure, capable girl, who would under normal circumstances be the heroine of this summer slaughter, is feeling out of place and without a purpose.

Once Jason arrives back at camp, chaos and typical slasher movie shenanigans ensue!
