Any interested students were welcome to attend the auditions, either as one to audition or one to watch in support. Those who wanted to audition were required to sign up and then were called up in random order once the actual auditions began.
Professor Slughorn was strong armed into greeting all of the students who came for auditions. He spoke briefly about all the WADA graduates that he had taught and went on a bit of a tangent about one in particular (really fantastic, always brought down the house and always had the best seats for me) before encouraging everyone to take this seriously and work hard for inter-house unity and the opportunity to participate in a cultural activity.
Alecto Carrow then 'introduced' Professor Mulciber and Librarian Pince. Professor Mulciber will be overseeing backstage development. Students who participate in helping to create sets, costumes, etc., will be given additional Charms extra credit. Librarian Pince is the stage manager.
She had people read from selections of works and sing parts of wizarding songs. No scripts were passed out but she assured them that it was a new play that would stun the wizarding world with it's class and deep meanings. Take that for what you will.
The cast list will be announced on Sunday, the 5th.
