🔽 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

 

• Do I need to be a vocal soloist to join the ensemble?

  • No. Basic ability to sing in harmonies with a group is sufficient.
    ​

• Do I have to know how to tap dance?

  • Not at all. Not all cast members will dance, and not all dancers will tap.
    ​

• If I’m a current Poiema company member, do I need to reapply?

  • Nope! You’re good to go.
     

• Can girls audition to be newsies?

  • Yes! Girls are absolutely welcome to audition for newsie roles.
    ​

• When are rehearsals?

  • Rehearsals begin Monday, May 26 at the North Raleigh Conference Center and will run throughout the week. In mid-July, we’ll transition to our performance venue in Wakefield.
