Got a Call-Back for Footloose at my school. What happens during high school call backs? do they make you sing again? I have no idea.

Posted: 12/16/12 at 9:27pmWhen I did my internship at a highschool theatre department we did callbacks and the way we held them was if we had 2 actors going after one part, we had them sing the same song, read the same scene, etc and decide from there. They might pair you up with different partners etc.

Posted: 12/16/12 at 9:37pmDepends on the teacher. You'll probably have to sing again. You might be given sides to read if you haven't done a straight acting audition yet. Maybe you'll be taught part of a different song from the show and be given some direction on what to do with it. It really depends on the teacher's methods and why they need a callback for that role.

One: Congrats.
Two: How could we possibly know how YOUR school/director runs callbacks. Why don't you ask someone AT your high school, they'd be able to tell you rather than conjecture.
At my callbacks the students learn a song from the show (all the same song, with different key options) and then read assigned scenes w/assigned partners.
We are not a big "dance" school, but some schools will also have you learn choreo. I would expect you will be there for some time.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
