Unfortunately, I got cut after the dance call. Before I left, Ben Berry walked into the room and informed those who were called back to stay and politely thanked those who were cut for their time. The audition in entirety is quite enjoyable and not as competitive as I anticipated. However, I had not foreseen the intensity of the dance call and was over-dressed, which resulted in being distracted that wasted a lot of my energy. My ballet slippers didn’t put me in advantage because of some “tappy" steps (it is time to invest in a pair of jazz shoes). Most of the dancers are still in college because the company encourages undergraduates to audition. Peregrine Theatre provides opportunities for college undergraduates to build up their resume with regional and professional credit. Being my first professional audition, it was overall very pleasant and encouraging. I learnt about the process of musical theatre auditions on a smaller scale that’s not overwhelming nor cutthroat. I’m looking forward to going on more auditions next year with more dance
