Perform in Parody<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parody is a massive production, boasting the dedicated involvement of over one hundred Harvard Law School students each year. In the fall, a small group of talented students writes and designs the new show. In the spring, our full cast and crew will audition, rehearse, and perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to be part of our show, or just hear out on the fun you would be missing, read on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JOIN US FOR THE SPRING 2026 SHOW! <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Auditions for the Spring 2026 show will be held from January 26th to the 28th<\/strong>! You must audition for acting, singing, dancing, and the band. You may audition for any combination of the four (but note that band members play for all songs and occasionally during the scenes). Sign up here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our C-Team is already full, with the exception of a Costumes Manager!<\/strong> If you or someone you know love fashion and want to help us make and run costumes during the show, please email drama@mail.law.harvard.edu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT TO EXPECT IN AUDITIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our Vocal Directors<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please prepare a verse and chorus of a song that shows off your voice! When you get here, we\u2019ll have you do a quick warm up and your solo. We\u2019ll be checking for vocals and stage presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to expect at a rapping audition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please prepare a verse (originals welcome!) for us! We\u2019ll be checking for flow and stage presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our Choreographers:<\/strong>
Parody Dance is all fun for any skill level. During tryouts, you come in, learn a short dance (like 30 seconds), and then freestyle. You can prepare a freestyle to your own music or you can just jam to the music we provide. We are happy to work with people\u2019s schedules (we go as low as 2 practices a week). We choreograph dances for everyone who wants to participate, no formal experience required. So come and shake your groove thang with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our Directors:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to prepare anything! We\u2019ll be calling 2-4 people in at a time, and you\u2019ll be given a script of a scene and a few minutes to prepare. Then we\u2019ll ask you to act out the scene. We might do the scene again and switch the roles around. The most important part is to just have fun with it. At the end we ask everyone if they have any accents or impressions of professors they can do. If you don\u2019t have anything you can pull out of sleeve, don\u2019t worry! This is not required at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our Band Director:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No need to prepare anything or even bring an instrument, though you\u2019re free to if you\u2019d like! Mostly, we\u2019ll just chat to get a sense of your musical experience, any equipment needs you might have, and what you\u2019re comfortable with in terms of difficulty, styles, improvisation, etc. \u2013 super low-stress, I hope!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
