2. Auditions are held at my house at 2491 S 1150 W, Syracuse.  They are closed

but parents, etc. may wait in the next room.

3. All cast members must audition, even for chorus or ensemble.  This gives me

an opportunity to get to know the cast and where their strengths are.

4. Choose a song from the show to sing.  If you want to try for multiple parts choose a song that each character sings.

5. Be prepared.  Know the lyrics and come prepared to perform as the character you are auditioning for.

5. Costume Fittings will begin shortly after the show is cast.  I will send out a memo and sign-up sheet.  All Wives, Brothers, Jacob, Narrator, Joseph must schedule the first costume fitting in October.   Youth Chorus can provide their own costume and accessories if they wish.  I will give each chorus member a color swatch for shirts, blouses, socks (bobby socks, knee highs or tights) and accessories, like hats, hair bows, etc. Pants, Jumpers, Skirts, Capris, Shorts must be khaki (tan).  Funky colorful shoes, hi-top converse style or low top canvas shoes will work, maybe some running shoes but w/o lights.  No black shoes.  Blouses and shirts may have a pattern but must be primarily the color given.  Neck ties may be worn also, but must be a contrasting color to the shirt or blouse.

6. A parent meeting will be scheduled in October to answer any questions, address your concerns and discuss all of the many things that parents and other family members can do to help with the show.  In the mean time, if you are interested in set building, painting, costume construction or alterations, promotion, or props, please let me know.  I would like to have a set building meeting as soon as possible. 

Thank you.

If you have ever considered doing Joseph with JAKS...

Many of you have been on the JAKS merry-go-round for months, even years.  I hope it has been a rewarding ride.  But it was recently brought to my attention that you never get to plan anything on Saturday.  I just realized that I never get to plan anything on Saturday either.  I am changing the rehearsal schedule a bit to fix that.

The youth chorus rehearsals will remain on every Saturday morning but they are over at 10:30.  The rehearsals for the wives, brothers, Jacob, Joseph and the narrator will be 10:30-4:00 with a lunch break, every other Saturday.

If I find in a couple of months that we need some additional rehearsals we'll work it out then.

Hope this helps with your lives outside of JAKS.

Thanks for reading this.  Jill
