<p>I think GSOMTMOM is right, this is the first audition date so I don’t think anyone has any experiences to share for this year yet. You are blazing the trail iammtmom!</p>
<p>I live close to CMU and know a few kids that have auditioned. They are extremely efficient. From what I remember them saying the song/monologue audition lasts maybe 10 minutes. Be prepared to take direction, even stuff like “do your monologue and act like you are swimming at the same time”. Its important to go all in with it! She wants to see if you can relax, take direction and have fun with it! I know for sure if Barbara Wood talks to you afterward you have a good chance of getting in or being wait-listed. My S’s friend was 10th on the list…if one female didn’t accept she was in (I think 10th). Ms Wood took her on a tour and introduced her to other faculty members. But she’s at CCM instead.</p>
<p>Best wishes to you guys!</p>
<p>Not sure if you are staying in town but the Benedum Center always has great musicals running!</p>
