The "Me and Juliet" Play In Need of Performers
Seeking male & female talent for the "Me and Juliet" theatre play. See the details below. About the Project: "Me and Juliet" is a classic from the same greats that gave The Sound of Music, Oklahoma, and The King and I. Unlike those iconic titles, this backstage romantic comedy is rarely performed, which gives us a chance to present a “brand new” experience from a beloved, familiar source. Additional info: - For Leading and Secondary Singing Roles: Please prepare a short song in the classic Broadway style – 32 to 64 bars is sufficient – OR present the song directors will teach at the audition. Please bring along sheet music for the provided accompanist. No a-cappella auditions or pre-recorded accompaniment, please. - For Ensemble (and all Speaking Roles): Directors will teach a short song from the show and ask you to sing in small groups. - Everyone will participate in a Movement Audition: – please dress comfortably and wear (or change into) soft-soled, close-toed shoes. - Some may be asked to do “cold readings” from the script. - Possible “Call Back”: Directors may ask some auditioners to return for a “Call Back” audition on Tuesday, November 22 at 6:30. Not all roles will require call-back, and not being called back does NOT indicate the consideration being given to your audition. - The show will run February 3 through 19, 2023 (just in time for Valentine's Day!) - Rehearsals will start December 5 through 16 to learn music, and then take a break for Christmas, re-starting on January 2 to prepare for an opening on February 3. If interested, please apply.
