A 1 MINUTE monologue of your choice and a 30 SECOND movement of your choice. The movement of your choice will allow us to see how comfortable your are with your body on stage and in front of an audience…there’s going to be a lot of physicality in this year’s PCC!

CALL-BACK DAYS
PP’s call-back days will be held on Friday, Jan 15 and Saturday, Jan 16. On these days we’ll have those who were called back from auditions to come in and cold read for us in groups.

MAKE-UP DAY
The last day of auditions is our make-up day for those who couldn’t make any of the dates listed above for auditions or call-backs.

We hope you all will be able to come out and join the People Power Family!
