What to Prepare:

For your audition, we ask that you prepare 1 Shakespeare monologue and 1 minute of a song (preferred genres: folk, bluegrass, rock). You are welcome and invited to prepare a contemporary monologue as well, but this is optional. 

If you are able to accompany yourself on your instrument, that’s great; if not, please be prepped to sing and play separately! Singers who do not play an instrument will be asked to sing a capella. All instruments are welcome! 

Auditions will include a quick get-to-know-you with the Artistic Directors of Piknik and DTE, Claylish Coldiron and Rhianna DeVries.
