HAT Co Auditions

We are looking for strong and committed singers, dancers, actors and musicians who will fearlessly throw themselves into creating artistic work together.

ABOUT HAT Co

This audition-only company provides a more intensive, ensemble- and performance-based experience for students in grades 6 through 12 who are interested in the performing arts. HAT Co members are encouraged to make their own work, as they learn to think about and respect dance, theater and music as art forms — and themselves as artists and creators.

This program is uniquely suited for teens who are motivated to study and perform across a range of disciplines; and who have an interest in being part of an inclusive, supportive, non-competitive group.

Ensemble members receive private, class and ensemble training in acting, singing, dance and instrumental music (keyboard, drum set, guitar, bass, violin, and any other instrument that can be incorporated into the rock band). Classes and ensembles meet all day on Saturday and Thursdays after school; private lessons take place after school, during the week. Students are required to make a yearlong commitment (September to mid-June) and to sign a contract indicating their ability and willingness to attend all scheduled classes, private lessons, rehearsals and performances.
