Locker Room & Hallway Closure April 1-15

We are replacing the rubber flooring in the locker room hallway and locker rooms April 1-14. The locker room hallway, including lockers, storage areas, and locker rooms, will be inaccessible during this time. 

We will send multiple emails and post signage at the facility over the next two months to ensure patrons are aware. Please help promote the message and reach out if you have other operational issues, we need to address regarding your storage unit or otherwise.

Locker Rentals:

The locker room hallway and lockers will not be accessible as of April 1. Please remove belongings by the end of the day on Sunday, March 31. The lockers will be draped, and the floor will be impassible. For those who choose to leave items inside your locker, you will not be able to access your belongings until work is complete (expected re-entry April 15). Annual locker agreements will be extended two weeks past your scheduled expiration date. The vendors will tape off the lockers to mitigate disruption to the inside of the lockers and any belongings. However, if you leave items inside, you do so at your own risk. Dust, odor, etc., could enter the locker cavity.

Show Audition information:

AUDITIONS - MONDAY MARCH 4, 2024

All skaters participating in the show must try out, EXCEPT for the Aspire skaters who selected option A. If you are not available for tryouts please contact a director for alternative options.

Auditions are your time to show the casting committee your best interpretation of the music and skating skills. Tryouts will be for the leading roles and ensemble roles of the production. All character parts are adapted from the movie. Characters will maintain some personality traits, but the storyline and roles will be adapted to match the demographics of our skaters/cast. Character roles will be awarded based on skating skills, showmanship and the overall “Wow Factor” displayed when performing!

For Tryouts:

  • Please dress in all black skating attire and have hair pulled back into a ponytail or bun.
  • Do NOT dress as a specific character from the show.
  • Tryouts will be held differently this year and you do not need to prepare anything in advance.

AUDITION TIMES for those who select options B or C

  • Preliminary – Senior : 3:30 – 4:45 pm on Monday, March 4th
  •  Aspire-Pre Preliminary : 4:45 - 5:45 pm on Monday, March 4th                                                                                                       

We cast our show immediately after auditions. The casting committee includes the Directors, Casting Coaches  and Committee chairs.  Please read important casting items below.

CASTING CONSIDERATIONS

Please Note - Every cast member is important for the show to be a success.  Please understand that most main character roles will be cast to the higher-level skaters, however, we are still looking for skaters of all ages and levels to fill all the roles for an amazing production.

We have a very large number of Juvenile (Now Bronze) through Senior (Now Gold) level skaters. In a perfect show, we would cast every high-level skater in a character role but that is not always possible. 

The Ice Show Directors reserve the right to cast any skater in any role that they feel best tells the story. Skaters may be cast as animals, enchanted objects, village people, etc. and female skaters may be cast as male characters or the other way around.

Some skaters may be required to wear wigs or hairpieces, these are non-negotiable, just like all other costume parts.


Join us to celebrate the new season!

We will acknowledge and celebrate our Juvenile level and higher athletes who will be representing the Figure Skating Club of Park City for the 2023/2024 season. Join us for the party!

An on-ice warm up will be available to the performers prior to showtime at 4pm.

We will need 6 numbers per date. We would like skaters of varying ages and levels. Duets, trios or small group numbers are welcome and encouraged.
