Cabaret: Hero or Villain... by Kaohsiung American School
in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan

What To Expect At Auditions

A cabaret is a performance made up of short, individual or small-group acts rather than one full-length story. Think of it like a showcase of talents — songs, scenes, monologues, duets, small ensemble numbers — all connected by a theme.

Unlike a traditional musical or play, you will not audition for a specific character.

Instead:

• You will prepare and perform a short audition piece (song, monologue, or short performance selection — details below).

• Based on your audition, strengths, and overall casting needs, roles and performance pieces will be assigned to you.

• You may perform solo, in a duet, small group, or ensemble number.

• Every performer will have featured moments, but not everyone will have the same type of role.

In a cabaret, flexibility and trust are important. You are auditioning to show:

Your voice

Your stage presence

Your ability to take direction

Your performance energy

Your willingness to collaborate

You are not auditioning for a role — you are auditioning to be placed where you will shine the most.

To audition feel free to bring us any of the following:

30 sec -1 minute of music (in your chosen instrument whether that is piano or your voice or anything else...)

3- sec -1 minute monologue

30 sec -1 minute showcase of a band/dance troupe if you are a group package

30 sec -1 minute of any talent you want to showcase that isn't any of above

If you go longer than 1 minute per selection we will say "Thank you." Please do not take it personally. If we need to see more we will let you know.

Performance venue TBD
