GENERAL AUDITION INFO
CASTING POLICIES: Auditions are open to youth in the 3rd-12th grades, however the director for each show may look for a more specific age range that may not always include the younger ages. Specific age requirements and casting information for each show are posted in the Audition Notice for each production above. No roles have been pre-cast unless otherwise specifically stated in the audition notice. Youth of all ethnicities and backgrounds are encouraged to audition.
ETIQUETTE:
-
Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to fill out any necessary information sheets. Actors will audition in the order that they arrive. They do not need to stay the entire 2 hours of auditions. They will be able to leave once they audition.
-
Make sure to wear clothes and shoes that are comfortable to move around in. SYT discourages actors from “dressing up” for the part they desire. Actors should wear clothes that they feel comfortable in and that show their own personality and style.
PREPARATION:
Plays:
-
Actors are required to prepare a 1 minute monologue for the audition.
-
Actors should choose a monologue that shows off strong acting choices, clear diction and volume, and that is age-appropriate.
-
Memorization of your monologue is highly encouraged.
-
If you do not have a monologue, one will be provided for you at the audition. Monologues are available ahead of time, one month prior to auditions, at the Spartanburg Youth Theatre offices in the kiosk at the end of the hallway when you walk down the stairs to our area. You may use one of these monologues, or you may use one of your own choosing.
-
Bring your schedule to fill-in all of your potential rehearsal conflicts on the audition form – conflicts may NOT be added after casting!
Musicals:
-
Actors are required to prepare 16-32 bars of a musical theatre song for the audition. A song from a musical is recommended, however actors may sing any type of song.
-
Actors should choose a song that shows off vocal range, allows for strong acting choices, and that is age-appropriate.
-
Actors should bring their own sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. Singing from a music track or singing acapella is highly discouraged.
-
Memorization of your song is highly encouraged.
-
Singing a song from the specific show you’re auditioning for is discouraged. We prefer to hear your own style and range in a song you’re comfortable with from any show other than the one you’re auditioning for. Callbacks are when we’ll be able to hear you sing songs from the show.
-
If you do not have a song, one will be provided for you at the audition. Songs are available ahead of time, one month prior to auditions, at the Spartanburg Youth Theatre offices in the kiosk at the end of the hallway when you walk down the stairs to our area. You may use one of these songs, or you may use one of your own choosing.
-
A great resource for purchasing sheet music is www.musicnotes.com.
-
For musicals, you will not dance at auditions. You will only dance at callbacks (if called back).
-
Bring your schedule to fill-in all of your potential rehearsal conflicts on the audition form – conflicts may NOT be added after casting!
REGISTRATION: Save time and fill out your audition form ahead of time. An online audition form will be available the Friday before auditions on the Auditions page of our website (above). If you fill out your form ahead of time, head straight to the check-in table when you arrive and tell them you filled out your form online. It is not mandatory to fill out your form in advance. You may still fill out the form when you arrive.
WHERE: All auditions are held at the Chapman Cultural Center at 200 E. St. John Street, Spartanburg, South Carolina, 29306. Look for signs directing you where to go for registration.
WHEN: Please note the above audition dates and times for the current Spartanburg Youth Theatre season. Auditions are typically Tuesdays & Wednesdays from 5:30-7:30pm. Actors may arrive at any time during the 2 hour slot. Actors will audition in the order that they arrive. They do not need to stay the entire 2 hours of auditions. They will be able to leave once they audition.
Actors should only audition one of the two nights offered. If an actor cannot audition on the two offered dates, we MAY be able to accommodate a separate audition date, but we cannot guarantee it. Please contact us directly.
CALLBACKS: If necessary, the director may hold callbacks to see certain actors again before casting the show. If callbacks are necessary, they are typically held the Saturday following auditions, however callbacks are subject to change depending on actor and director availability. If an actor is unable to attend callbacks, we MAY be able to accommodate a separate callback date, but we cannot guarantee it. If called back, contact us and we will see what we can do.
If an actor must arrive late or leave early, we will do our best to accommodate the conflict, but cannot guarantee that we will be able to make sure the actor is seen before they have to leave early or after they’ve arrived late.
A callback list will be posted on the Auditions page of our website (above), usually the Thursday after auditions. At callbacks, actors will read scenes from the script. For musicals, in addition to reading scenes, actors will learn songs from the show and learn a short dance combination.
We would like to welcome you to an Open Forum discussion on the Tarot, Qabalah and the Path of Return B.O.T.A. style!
New Open Forum Series on the Tarot
In this series, we will take up each key of the Major Arcana singly and in sequence, first looking at their magical images, which will lead us into a discussion of the meaning of their symbols, and practical uses in our spiritual work.
To make this series accessible to all aspirants, regardless of experience, we will use only 4 B.O.T.A. publications as our resources:
The Tarot, Key to the Wisdom of the Ages, by Paul F. Case
The Highlights of Tarot, by Paul F. Case
Inspirational Thoughts on Tarot, by Rev. Ann Davies
The Book of Tokens, by Paul F. Case
We will have these books on hand to use during the Open Forum along with an essential resource of a good dictionary. You may also purchase them at our Online Store at: www.bota.org
This is also a forum to ask any questions you may have about the Order, our lesson curriculum, the Western Mysteries, and meet like-minded spiritual aspirants on every level of the Path of Return. This is a down-to-earth meeting with an encouraging and supportive vibe and sharing with each other. We are cultivating a community of TRUE B.O.T.A. aspirants who are interested in the Path of Return as taught by our Founders and our only teachers, Paul Foster Case and Ann Davies.

The Thorn offers audiences a unique theatrical experience in a show that has been hailed as “Cirque meets ‘The Passion’” thanks to its compelling mix of drama, music, dance, martial arts, aerial acrobatics, emotionally evocative performances, and timeless spiritual perspectives.

Author John Bolin created the show over 25 years ago to convey the meaning of Christ’s sacrificial death to a group of young people who knew little about the story of Jesus’ suffering but were familiar with pain through their own practice of cutting and self-harm.
The show has evolved ever since, with the current live version returning to the original format featuring St. John, “the beloved disciple,” recalling his many amazing encounters with Jesus.
“It’s a story full of love, sacrifice, spiritual warfare, and redemption,” said Bolin.

New York. 1950s. When David Wilkerson senses the call of God to minister to the gangs of New York, he could never have imagined the challenges and struggles he was going to face along the way. The violence, drugs, and despair that plagues the gang members seem to overwhelm his every effort, but soon, through God’s work in the life of one young man named Nicky Cruz, David begins to see that the transformation he is working for comes only through the power of the Holy Spirit.
