Utah State Les Miserables Auditions and Internship Opportunities! DUE ASAP!

 TWO EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS!

These are directly from Vanessa with the HS Musical Theatre Awards

  • I have had many requests regarding our 2022 UHSMTA Internships and I am excited to finally share with you a brand-new opportunity.

This year UFOMT would like to produce a production of Les Misérables cast entirely of students from the Utah High School Musical Theatre Awards.  This production would perform at the end of our regular season in August in Logan, Utah.  Virtual rehearsals will happen prior to August. We thought this opportunity would accomplish our goal of bringing talented students from across the state to create art together, work with professionals and elevate each other in the process.

We need your help!!!  As I don’t have contact information for your students we are dependent upon the teachers to distribute this information to the students.  Attached is the paperwork students need to submit their audition package.  Audition packets (including video submissions) are due December 30, 2021.  This is for ALL students who were an acting part in the musical this year.

(There will also be opportunities for technical theatre students to participate in this project.  Those details will be forthcoming.)

I imagine there will be a myriad of questions from your students, you are welcome to send them my way.  If you have questions, reach out to vanessa@ufomt.org and she can answer them.

  • For the last few years we have been delighted to partner with CS Music to provide additional training opportunities for UHSMTA students. CS Music would like to extend the Utah Rising Singer Scholarship opportunity to your students and the deadline for submission for this scholarship is coming up on December 20, 2021.  Details are attached in links below.

The detail sheets can be found here at the link below in this google file - again, contact VANESSA with any questions.
