Admissions Process For 2021-2022

Auditions are now closed for the 2021-2022 school year.

Please look for information about the 2022-2023 auditions in February of 2022.

Step 1: Get Ready to Audition

Students and guardians should read through the Audition Process below and rehearse/practice their audition before submission.

Submit at least one of the following things:

Acting/Monologue:

Select and prepare a monologue from any published play of their choice or use the one provided below. Please keep the monologue to around 1 minute in length.

Students are encouraged to memorize their monologue (it’ll enhance acting and interpretation), but it is not required.

Dance:

• Perform a 1-minute solo in any style of dance OR perform the dance combination taught below.
• Make their whole body visible throughout the video.
• When you film, play the music on a separate device either behind you or next to you. Please do not put in headphones/earbuds/Airpods and sing along.

• Our music director has provided a track with singing along to the piano. This guided vocal is intended to help you rehearse.
• When you film, play the audition backup track on a separate device either behind you or next to you. Please do not put in headphones/earbuds/Airpods and sing along.
• You do not need to memorize the song. You can have the music in your hand while singing.

Step 2: Audition Application

Please fill out our audition application (click here). There will be a section for your audition videos in the application. You will be submitting at least one Flipgrid audition at the end of the application.

Auditions are now closed.

If you have any issues or questions throughout the process, please contact Mr. Osenberg at nosenberg@wcskids.net or 586-825-2525 x.6.

Step 3: Admission Decisions

Admission decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Students will be told if they have either been accepted, wait-listed, or denied admission into the program.

Accepted students should talk with their high school counselor about changing their schedule.

Students on the waitlist will be notified as spots become available. We maintain the waitlist until September.

Students are encouraged to re-audition the following year, if they are on the waitlist or declined admission. WCSPA has more applicants than spots available.

Filming Tips:

• Film in a quiet area of your house. Closets are great filming locations.
• Film with light shining on your face. The more natural the light, the better. If you cannot use natural light, put a lamp in front of you, so it shines on your face.
• Film with your phone in landscape mode, i.e., on its side, not selfie mode.

If you have any issues or questions throughout the process, please contact Mr. Osenberg at nosenberg@wcskids.net or 586-825-2525 x.6.
