General Information
Auditions Saturday, January 13, 2024
- To apply to the Center for the Arts program for SY2024-2025, all applicants must participate in an in-person audition or portfolio review. A performing arts video and/or Google Slides portfolio is no longer required as part of the application process.
- All auditions will be held at Henrico High School’s Center for the Arts facilities on Saturday, January 13, 2024. The inclement weather date is Saturday, January 20, 2024. Make-up auditions are scheduled only in the event of a conflict with an HCPS- sanctioned event (sporting event, band/choral event, etc.) or by a serious medical condition documented by a licensed physician or doctor. All make-up auditions must be coordinated in advance by the CFA Center Director.
- Students may audition for ONE or TWO discipline areas but may enroll in only ONE area if accepted to the CFA program.
- If you are auditioning for ONE discipline area, please select the session which corresponds to your last name. This selection will determine if your audition is scheduled in the morning or the afternoon.
- Note: All DANCE applicants will choose an audition session based on last name and years of experience.
- If you are auditioning for TWO discipline areas, you will audition for both discipline areas in either the morning (Sessions A & B) or afternoon (Sessions C & D). Please select the session which corresponds to your last name in at least one area. This selection will determine if both of your audition sessions are scheduled in the morning or in the afternoon.
- Note: All DANCE applicants who are applying for more than one discipline area must make the DANCE selection first.
- Please remember to write down your selected audition session(s)! There is a section below for you to record your audition session/s information.
- Students should be prepared to arrive 10 minutes PRIOR to the START of the audition session and SHOULD REMAIN for the entire time of the audition.
- CHECK-IN LOCATIONS on Audition Day – Performing Arts applicants (Dance, Musical Theatre, Theatre) will check-in the Henrico HS Main Commons Area (in front of the Auditorium) at least 10 minutes before the audition. Visual Arts applicants will check-in at the CFA Visual Arts Building at least 10 minutes before the audition. Please see the map on the reverse side for locations.
- Parents MAY NOT attend the audition. We will have a waiting area in the Main Commons/Auditorium area where parents can relax during their child’s audition. The Friends of Center for the Arts (FCFA) will hold parent information meetings during the audition sessions so prospective parents can learn more about the CFA program while waiting for their student to complete their audition or portfolio review. Please come to the CFA Information table in the Main Commons/Auditorium area to sign-up for the parent meeting.
- Please call the CFA Office at 228-2718 if you have any questions about auditions!
