Auditions

Our audition period for Spongebob Squarepants the Musical is now closed.

What is a BFT audition like?

  • All Bergen County students entering grades 7 to 12 or who have graduated from high school in 2024 (or ages 12 to 18) are eligible to audition.

    This is a great performance opportunity for students who are seasoned actors, or who are just taking their first steps into the world of musical theater. We want to work with you!

  • Yes! Due to our limited performance space, we are able to accommodate a limited number of students. All students who are granted audition slots will be offered a role in our show. Audition slot requests received after reaching capacity will be placed on a waitlist. We encourage you to sign up as soon as possible!

    The production staff reserves the right to refuse audition slots to parties who apply on a case-by-case basis.

  • Students cast in the Ensemble will have multiple roles, as well as the opportunity to learn different styles of dance and singing.

    Ensembles are integral to the production of a musical. An ensemble role is a fun and exciting way to develop your theatrical skillset.

  • Please prepare the following:

    • One contemporary musical theater piece, no longer than 32 bars

    • One comedic monologue of your choosing running no more than two minutes 
OR
One of our production staff’s selected monologues

    No accompanist will be provided at auditions. In your audition request form, you MUST include a karaoke YouTube link WITH TIME STAMPS in your audition timeslot request.

    We are looking for students to show off their talents first and foremost. If you are new to auditioning and feel that there is one specific song that best suits your voice, we encourage you to prepare that song!

  • A one-time $150 performance fee will be charged to all cast members.

    Students from multi-student households (such as siblings) will receive a 20% discount after the first fee.

    Students who identify themselves as members of the Old North Reformed Church and are confirmed as members will receive a 50% discount on the participation fee.

    Scholarships are available for eligible participants. Email bluefiretheatricals@gmail.com for more information.
