Auditions for non-ensemble categories will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2019, beginning at 4:00pm at The Galloway School. To be eligible, the student must be 11 years old or older and must have auditioned and been accepted into the PMT YAS! Competition Team.

Each audition time slot will include:
- MUSIC | Students should prepare a minute-long cut from a musical theater song that represents the character for which they are auditioning. Please bring sheet music in the correct key. An accompanist will be provided. Students will also have their vocal range, music reading, and ensemble singing abilities assessed during the audition.
- ACTING | Students should prepare a one-minute long, age appropriate monologue. If the student does not have a monologue prepared, they will be given excerpts from director-selected monologues for cold readings. Students should also be prepared to participate in group improvisation activities.
- DANCE | At the end of each audition slot, students will be taught a brief dance combination. Please come dressed to move. Aside from learning a group dance combination, students will also be assessed on their general dance knowledge and technique.
