Auditions are an important part of a performers journey. Our auditions are designed with a dual purpose: for entry into camp and to cast roles in the upcoming show.
The auditions for entry serve as a means to ensure that campers can seamlessly navigate the fast-paced nature of our camp. Beyond talent, we highly value enthusiasm, positive attitudes, and the ability to focus and follow directions in our campers.
Once accepted, campers can look forward to a unique experience with a named role and minimum of 5 lines and 5 songs in the show— an integral part of what makes BBC truly special! The cast list is posted after the first day of camp, providing time for final casting confirmations. Join us for an audition experience that not only celebrates individual talents but also embraces the positive spirit and dedication that make BBC stand out.
Auditions are comprised of vocal self tapes and in-person audition March 24 for dance and acting.
