Seeking Performers for "The Music Man" Show
The company is holding auditions for 2024 summer musical show, "The Music Man" and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: Auditioners should prepare one minute of a familiar musical theater song that best showcases them in a style from the show. All are encouraged to bring a second selection as a backup for their audition song. Auditioners must bring sheet music in their key for the accompanist. Also acceptable will be singing with an accompaniment-only music track (no vocals), on CD or Bluetooth device. A cappella auditions are discouraged. Auditions will also consist of reading from the script. Auditioners should come comfortably dressed to move, as they may be required to learn a short dance/movement combination. Cast members should be available for technical rehearsals scheduled for July 7 through 11, and must be available for all performances July 12 through 21.
