We are looking for high caliber singers and dancers, explains Dr. Anita Thompson, executive director of the Sequoyah Institute.

Our audiences have come to expect that quality and we certainly plan to deliver.

There will be no piano available, so CD accompaniment will need to be provided by the person auditioning. Musical theatre pieces are not acceptable for the audition. Those auditioning will be required to attend a dance audition as well.
