Singers Sought for "A Little Night Music" Show
The company is holding auditions for "A Little Night Music" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: Set in 1900 Sweden, A Little Night Music explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress, Desirée Armfeldt, and the men who love her: a lawyer by the name of Fredrik Egerman and the Count Carl-Magnus Malcom. When the traveling actress performs in Fredrik’s town, the estranged lovers’ passion rekindles. This strikes a flurry of jealousy and suspicion between Desirée; Fredrik; Fredrick’s wife, Anne; Desirée’s current lover, the Count; and the Count’s wife, Charlotte. Both men – as well as their jealous wives – agree to join Desirée and her family for a weekend in the country at Desirée’s mother’s estate. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises. Additional info: Callbacks, if necessary, will be held on February 25th An accompanist will be provided for your singing audition: please bring sheet music for your prepared 32 bars from a stylistically similar show. There will also be a short movement educational opportunity (don’t panic), and you may or may not be asked to read a short passage from the script. Please note that this show contains adult content and themes that are sometimes sexual in nature. This title is rated PG-13.
