"Footloose" Musical Looking for Actors/Singers/Dancers

The company is excited to announce auditions for the first show of its 40th Anniversary Season: "Footloose!" and looking for actors/singers/dancers, please see the details below. About the project: Footloose is the story of Ren McCormack, a teenage boy from Chicago. He and his mother move to the small town of Bomont after his father abandons them. Upon arriving, Ren finds himself at odds with most of the town, including the Reverend Shaw Moore. The Reverend has convinced the town to outlaw dancing, which Ren finds unbelievable. With the help of Ariel (the Reverend’s daughter) and Willard (a country hick who becomes his best friend), Ren convinces the Reverend to let the teenagers dance, and in the process helps the town to heal from a tragedy that affected them all.

Directors cannot guarantee the temperature of the theater will be ideal for every individual auditioning, so dress accordingly. Vocal auditions - please select from the list of songs below. (If auditioning for more than one role, please prepare the song of your first priority, as directors may not have time to hear multiple vocal auditions from the same person). Your selection does not need to be memorized and sheet music is encouraged. A pianist will accompany you for your audition. No a-cappella auditions or backing tracks will be permitted. If you do not see a character song for a character you wish to be considered, just select a similar song that best suits your voice. Those interested in only ensemble casting should select the song that best suits their voice. Sheet music and audio files of the songs available are in the link above. Cold readings (sides) will be from the script. Please note that the cold readings may not be for the character you’re auditioning for, they are just to see how you perform/commit to a character, this does NOT mean you won’t be considered for your desired role if they are unable to have you read for that character.
