The time has come to start auditioning for various aspects of the OES Variety Show!   We are looking to have you showcase your skills as an MC, join our amazing Stage/Tech crew, or showcase your individual talents*.

*Please read this important note on individual act auditions.  Individual acts are those that are parent and/or student lead acts.  This does not mean that they are acts that include only 1 student.  They may be a group of students but are not led by one of the variety show teachers.  Example: if your student and their five friends have an idea for an act, they must audition as an individual act.   Signups for the teacher-led group acts will be out later in January.

YOU MUST SIGN UP TO AUDITION. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ ALL THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW!

Sign ups for Teacher Led Group Acts in January.

  • WHAT IS EXPECTED:  Auditions are to give the variety show organizers a good “snippet” of what you plan to present during the show.  You should have chosen your performance, music, performers, etc.  We understand that at this point your act may not be polished and show-ready, and that is ok.

  • PRIOR TO AUDITIONING: You MUST FILL OUT THE GOOGLE FORM PRIOR TO YOUR AUDITION DATE (link to google form below.)

  • On the afternoon of your auditions, DO NOT LEAVE THE CAMPUS. Once you are checked in, do not leave the auditorium until you have completed your audition.

  • Parents must pick up their children IMMEDIATELY following your child(s) audition as there will be no childcare provided.

  • We will notify you by email on or before December 16th if you have been selected as an MC or individual act.  If you have not been selected, we would love to see you audition in another act or have you join a group act/tech crew.

  • Note: Variety Show Teacher-Led Group Acts signup will be released on Jan 2.

  • Rehearsal schedule will be posted beginning the third week of January!
