Thank you all so much for coming out to this week’s in-person auditions! 🎭✨

Please note that we will not be holding in-person callbacks. If you auditioned in person, your initial audition gave us everything we needed, and you are fully under consideration.

If you submitted virtually, you have until Monday, October 5 to submit your video audition. If you received a virtual callback, you have until noon on Monday, October 5. 🎥⏰

Thank you again to everyone who auditioned! Those who are cast will be notified by email as soon as possible, within one to two weeks.

Because we had over a couple hundred people participate through video submissions and in-person auditions, we may not be able to personally reach everyone who was not cast, but we will do our best. We will also post our official cast list on our social media channels, so please keep an eye out there! 🌟📜
