OK all you wannabe Disney stars, we’ve finally got news on the open casting calls for the new realty show “HSM: Summer Session.”

The West Coast auditions will be taking place on Sunday, April 27 at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, CA. The East Coast casting call will be held on Wednesday, May 7, at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. The exact location is the Champion Stadium at Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex.

Both of these open auditions will form part of the early episodes of the series. Anyone between the ages of 16 and 22 is welcome to give it a shot at the open calls (if you are under 18, you must bring your parent or legal guardian) and can download an application and view eligibility requirements here.

The series debuts at 8 p.m. Sunday, July 20 on ABC, and runs Sundays and Mondays for three weeks, then continues Mondays through mid-September. The producers welcome anyone and everyone aged 16-22 who has dreamed of being center stage.

The finalists will ultimately participate in a summer music program to hone their skills, and one talented newcomer will receive the opportunity to become part of the “High School Musical” family.

Picture you here with “High School Musical” stars Corbin Bleu(Chad Danforth), Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay Evans), Monique Coleman (Taylor McKessie), Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella Montez), Lucas Grabeel (Ryan Evans) and Zac Efron (Troy Bolton).

If you are interested in work as an extra on the next “High School Musical,” I found this site which gives information on various Disney auditions.

Could you be the next Hannah Montana or Gabriella Montez?

Producers of an upcoming Disney Channel live-action comedy series are on a search for comedic actors between the ages of 12-17 to potentially be cast in an upcoming pilot.

The open auditions will take place in San Francisco, Sunday October 21 at 9:00 a.m. at Beau Bonneau Casting, located at 84 First Street, at the cross street of Mission Street.

Girls and boys between the ages of 12-17 are invited to audition. For applications and more information, just click here.

There is no fee to audition, and all applicants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The first 250 kids will be registered to audition.

During the auditions the actor will be asked to perform three different 15-second original characters that will allow them to demonstrate their sketch comedy ability.
