Audition Requirements

At this time, scholars must be accepted into the Academic area at Wells (4th-5th), Bailey (6th-8th), or Murrah (9th-12th) to participate in Wells PAC Arts programming for the 2025-2026 school year.

Theatre

  1. Before the audition, prepare a memorized song from a musical or monologue. The piece should be about 1 minute long.
  2. At the audition, you will be given a script to read and perform in addition to your prepared piece.
  3. There is a written portion to be completed at the time of your audition. If you have prior theatre experience, please feel free to bring a copy of your resume, listing any onstage or backstage experience.
  4. A short interview will be conducted at the end of the audition. If you have questions, please contact Theatre Department Chair Madison Upendo.

Dance

Students will participate in a short workshop, during which they will learn a series of movements designed to assess their dance capabilities and potential - there is no need to prepare a memorized dance.  For the audition, students must wear leotards and tights or a tank top and bike shorts with bare feet.  If accepted to the Wells PAC Dance program, the student must buy specific attire and will be required to wear hair in a classical bun for classes and events.
