Performers Sought For Musical "Footloose!"
Auditions for April musical "Footloose!". Looking for actors. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: "When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him." Additional info: What to Prepare: Auditionees should prepare two 16-bar cuts: one up-tempo, and one ballad. At least one of these must be in pop style similar to the songs in Footloose. Please bring sheet music in a binder for the accompanist, with your cuts clearly marked. The acting segment of auditions will be by cold reading only. No Monologues will be seen at this audition. Auditionees should also prepare for and dress appropriately for a dance audition unless you are only interested in the "adult characters." No roles have been guaranteed to any individual. Performance dates are April 12-14, 19-21, 26 & 27, 2024. If you are interested, please apply.
