📢 RENT Audition Info is Here!
We know you’ve been eagerly waiting for details, thanks to everyone for your patience! Auditions for RENT will take place either by the end of this year or in early January 2025! Exact dates and location will be announced soon. In the meantime, here’s everything you need to prepare:
Audition Requirements:
Please prepare the following:
- A 90-second song from the Musical Theatre canon.
- A 90-second monologue in any genre.
- A second 90-second song, either a contrasting Musical Theatre piece or a Pop/Rock song, in case we’d like to hear more.
We ask that you not go over the times listed above so that we can be respectful of all the auditioners’ time.
You will have the option of hooking up a device (phone, laptop, tablet, etc) to an auxiliary cord or connecting to Bluetooth for your backing track. Adapters will be provided for Apple and USB-C devices.
Having a backing track is preferred, but if this is not doable, you may sing acapella.
Please note that you may be asked to do some pitch-matching exercises in the room if you choose this option.
📹 Video Auditions:
Can’t make it in person? No problem! Though we love to see people in person, we understand that it may present a barrier for some. If this is the case for you, we can accept video auditions with the same requirements as above. - Full instructions to come!
We’re so excited to see your talent and energy for this iconic show. Stay tuned for more updates, and break a leg! ❤🎭
📢 Big News: The Honest Collective is Back with RENT! 📢
The Honest Collective is making its grand return to the stage with a bold new production of Jonathan Larson's RENT, running in Calgary from June 6-28, 2025!
This marks our first show since the pandemic, and we can’t wait to bring the electricity, heart, and unforgettable music of this iconic musical to life.
Meet the creative team bringing the vision to life:
✨ Director: Emmett Noonan (they/he)
🎵 Music Director: Allie Pompu (she/her)
💃 Choreographer: Danielle Desmarais (she/her)
🎭 Producer: Maddy Quinn (she/they)
Though set in New York during the height of the AIDS crisis, RENT powerfully underscores the urgent need for community as a force of resistance and revolution in the face of growing oppression. At a time when marginalized voices are being silenced more than ever, its call for unity, defiance, and hope is a radical anthem for our time.
Audition details are on the way—stay tuned to join us on this incredible journey!
