  • Please eat lunch before arriving at OBT.  Only water bottles will be allowed in the warm-up waiting area (Studio 2).
  • Feel free to bring books, homework, playing cards, or other quiet activities to keep yourselves occupied while waiting. 
Parents:
  • All students must have a Production Release and Commitment form signed and dated by both the parent/guardian and the student before the student will be allowed to audition.  Forms can be found in your SOBT registration packets.  No other forms are necessary for the audition.  
  • This is a closed audition.  We would prefer the student be dropped off at the front door as per normal SOBT procedure.  Parents do not need to come in and register their child.
  • Release will be from the back door.  Please park and walk to the back door to pick-up your child. Give your name and your child’s name to staff; your child will be released to you at that time.

All casting decisions are at the sole discretion of Oregon Ballet Theatre.
Audition attendance does not guarantee a role. Rehearsal participation does not guarantee performance.
