Miss Farmington Orientation

Do you know a Female Farmington Resident age 18-24 who is interested in earning some scholarship money? The Miss Farmington Pageant is an excellent way to earn scholarship money, learn valuable life skills, and gain confidence. It is an experience that a participant never forgets.

The Orientation/Information Meeting is this Saturday, Feb. 6th at 10am in the Farmington Community Arts Center, located at 120 South Main Street. This is an informational meeting only and does not require a commitment to the pageant, but if you come, you will discover how likely it is that you will have the chance to walk away from the pageant with scholarship money and, more importantly, with irreplaceable life skills.

If you have any questions or would like more information please contact Farmington Parks and Recreation at 801-451-0952 or Stefanie at 801-673-2393.

Willy Wonka Participation Policies and Procedures:

A participation fee of $15.00 for residents and $25.00 for non-residents and a $75.00 volunteer deposit will be required in order to audition. The volunteer deposit is required to ensure that we get adequate volunteer support from parents and family to run this production in a safe and positive way. It will be fully refunded as parents fulfill this obligation. Participants will not be allowed to audition until all fees have been paid. For families with more than 3 children participation the fee will cap at $45 and $75 respectively and only one deposit will be required per family.

The production staff may limit the cast size as they deem necessary to allow for a quality experience for each child. Should cast size be limited and your child not be included you will be issued a refund.

The audition panel will consist of three people including the director, production staff as designated, and a representative from the city (typically the Art Coordinator). Audition panel members who have family members wishing to audition will be temporarily dismissed from the panel at the time of said family member's audition and will have no input as to his/her child's placement in the play.

This first rehearsal will be held Saturday, Jan. 23rd from 8am - 11am. A MANDATORY Parent Meeting will be held Tuesday, Jan. 26th from 6:00pm - 7:00pm.

Free Audition Workshop

In conjunction with the upcoming Willy Wonka auditions, the co-directors of the show, Carol Thomas and Michael Nielsen, are offering a Free Audition Workshop. Anyone who is interested is invited to attend, however, those who are interested in auditioning for Willy Wonka are encouraged to come as it will give you an opportunity to work directly with the directors before being in the intimidating audition situation and it will also give you a feel for how they work and what they expect.

Here is the information:

"Going into an audition is VERY scary! What does the director want? How can I best present myself in such a short time? I don't want to make a fool of myself... are thoughts and fears that prevent any auditioner from doing their best.

Come to this FREE WORKSHOP and actually LEARN how to do a better audition! Practice your audition skills in a safe place where you will get some feedback as to how you can show your skills effectively to the directors.

While no one can guarantee that this workshop will give you the part you really want, you will DEFINITELY feel better about your audition, and be better prepared for future opportunities! Come play with us "audition-style!"

When: Saturday, January 9th
Time: 8:00am - 10:00am
Location: Main Hall, Farmington Community Arts Center, 120 South Main
NO CHARGE WORKSHOP
NO SIGN-UP NECESSARY - JUST COME SATURDAY MORNING IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE!"

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at farmingtonarts@gmail.com.
