ALL AUDITIONERS
Hello, our loyal family!
Valley Musical Theatre is going to start using an online service called Cast98 for our future shows. Cast98 enables us to handle auditions online (no more paper forms to fill out!) and makes scheduling rehearsals a lot easier on our directors.
What this means for you: If you wish to audition for one of our shows in the future, you will need to create a profile on Cast98. Fill out your contact info, past show experience, and conflict calendar and then you'll be ready to sign up for an audition time. Make sure you remember to update all of your info before signing up for an audition. Note to parents: You will need to create a separate profile for each child.
We think you're going to really enjoy using Cast98, and you'll see why after we cast our next show (spoiler: you'll get a personalized rehearsal schedule!). You can also save your cast bio on Cast98 so that you don't have to write it from scratch every show.
Need help getting started? If you have any trouble using Cast98, please don't ask us! We will not know the answer! For tech support or questions about Cast98, use their Help features.

Mamma Mia! Update:
Due to the extension of Governor Inslee's stay at home orders to May 4 (and possibly beyond), and limitations of rehearsal and performance spaces, the production team met tonight and determined that it is necessary to postpone the Mamma Mia production to Summer 2021.
We are all heavily disappointed, but we are regrouping. And we can't wait to start this show next year!
What to Prepare: actors will be required to sing selected songs from the show and perform sides, which will be provided. You can see the sides and prepare for the audition through the Cast98.com platform.
