10:00AM – 12 Noon
We are glad you are interested in auditioning for a special part in the musical L.O.S.T. But
Now I’m Found. Auditions will be held on June 4th, 5th, and 6th. Please drop by the church
and sign up for an audition time (located outside the AMA (Academy of Music and Arts)
office). All auditions will be held in the Music Suite at First Baptist Church (second floor).
Please bring your yellow “Personal Information Form” to the audition, already filled out.
The solo and speaking parts do not have to be memorized for the audition. However,
auditioning with a part memorized could increase your chances of getting a more
substantial role. Campers in 1st and 2nd grade may audition for solos only. Campers in 3rd –
6th grade may audition for solos and speaking parts. We try to give 5th and 6th graders first
priority since these are their last years to participate in SMAC.
Singing Parts
On the back of this sheet is listed a couple of recommended solos from which to choose in
preparing for your singing audition. Please use your CD and Music Book to prepare.
NOTE: Having your song memorized can make for a better audition. Those chosen for solos
may also be asked to take part in additional solo rehearsals either before Camp or after 3pm
during Camp week. All solos will need to be memorized before Music Camp begins.
Acting Parts
For the audition, campers should choose one or two parts to act out – You may be asked to
read other parts during the audition. If you audition for a specific role, we’ll assume that
you’ll be willing to play any role in the musical. NOTE: Trying out for a specific role does not
guarantee you the part. If you are given a major speaking part, you will automatically be
enrolled in the DRAMA EXPLORATION during Camp week. If you are given a major speaking
role you might also be asked to take part in additional rehearsals either before and/or
during Camp week (these dates/times will be communicated to you). All actors will need to
have ALL their speaking parts memorized before Music Camp begins.
Practice is very important to the outcome of your audition. I will be looking for those kids
who have put time and effort into their audition because having a key role in a musical takes
lots of hard work.

Actors for Auditioning
*Most parts can be played by a girl or boy with a name change and minor tweaking in the script.
................... Please review the Cast of Characters list on Page 3 of your Musical Book.
Choose 1 or 2 characters to audition with (having some memorized will always help
your audition chances). Remember, you might be asked to read another part that
you might not have prepared. Just by being willing to audition, we’ll assume that
you are open to play whatever role you are assigned, no matter how big or small
the role.
……………Take time to listen through the musical to get an idea of how the
characters act. This might help you better know which characters fit you the very
best. Having a speaking role of any kind is a big commitment, remember the
following:
 All speaking roles, big or small, need to be memorized before Camp week.
 Major acting roles will automatically be placed in the Drama EXPLORATION.
Audition Results - You will be notified via email of Audition Results the
week of June 8th.
