DETAILS ABOUT SOPA AUSTIN’S
WINTER 2025 PRODUCTION OF
LITTLE WOMEN the Musical

Community Members that are interested in taking part in our Winter 2025 Production of LITTLE WOMEN the Musical - must read thru and sign off on the entire process before auditioning.

• NO refunds will be given once cast list has been posted for any reason.

• This is an AUDITION ENTRY production. It is possible that not all who audition will be cast. We ask that you have theater experience before auditioning. This production will be very intensive (pre-professional) and will push all cast to shine their brightest. This production is AGE APPROPRIATE CASTING. This means we will not cast those who appear too young or too old for a certain role.

• AUDITIONS will take place Tuesday, December 10th from 5:00pm to 9:30pm at the SOPA Austin Studio
  (1120 Toro Grande Blvd #100, Cedar Park, TX 78613).
  Video submissions are acceptable and due by end of day on 12/8. Email via public viewing google drive link to Emily@shineonperformingarts.org with the subject line: LITTLE WOMEN Audition - (Your Name)

• CALLBACKS are December 11th from 5:30pm- 10:00pm, second callbacks (if needed) will be December 17th from 5:30pm to 10:00pm. If video callbacks are needed, the materials will be sent to the auditioners by end of day on December 15th and due back by end of day December 17th.

• The Artistic Team will determine who they would like to call back based on auditions.

• LITTLE WOMEN the Musical is our first Community Theater production. We will have a strict set of rules for all stages of this show. It is an incredible opportunity for all involved and we are super blessed! Auditioners must be age 14+ in order to audition. The only role we will consider for students under the age of 18 is that of Beth. No one under the age of 14 will be considered. This show is an ensemble cast. There are only 10 roles. All actors cast must agree to have no more than 1 conflict during the rehearsal schedule and must agree to be fully familiarized with the songs and script before the rehearsals begin in January.

• Cast will agree to pay a mandatory $100.00 Production Fee upon casting to help cover the licensing and costuming fees. There will be no additional fees or mandatory ads, ticket sales, parent volunteer hours, etc for this show.

• REHEARSALS will begin in January. We will have a read thru/Sing thru on January 5th from 2pm-6pm for the full cast. Some rehearsals may be on zoom. There will be MANDATORY rehearsals where ALL cast are called starting Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - January 6th through January 31st from 6:00pm-10:00pm, Saturdays January 11th, 18th, 25th and February 1st from 11am-6pm. Move In is February 2nd from 2:00pm to 10:00pm. Dress Rehearsal - February 3rd-5th from 4:30-10:30pm. The Community Theater Cast will only have one day of dress rehearsals. More to come on that. SOME conflicts will be allowed once the rehearsal schedule comes out.

• Rehearsals near the beginning of the session are done by scene/song and may not require all cast. We will work around conflicts when we are able. 

• Rehearsals will be held at the SOPA Austin Studio and SOPAC.

• Sunday afternoon rehearsals may be called for specific cast, mostly cast with conflicts, or leads, as needed. Cast will be notified if extra rehearsals are required. Rehearsals would be on Sunday afternoon/evenings.

• Cast will receive a detailed rehearsal calendar shortly after casting. Please list all possibly conflicts in audition form. We understand that some things may not come up until later, but please do your best.

• Cast must attend all called rehearsals unless sick, or they have a listed conflict. Not attending rehearsals that you do not have a listed conflicts form could result in dismissal from scenes or the show.
