Equity Actors Audition for 2024-25 Season Shows
Equity actors for roles in Theatre's 2024-25 season. See breakdown below. About the project: "Home For The Holidays" An original uplifting musical entertainment with memorable songs, exuberant choreography, and extravagantly colorful costumes illuminated for dazzling effect. Performed with a live orchestra, Home for the Holidays reminds audiences of the universal power of music, song and dance celebrated by audiences the world over. "Ghost: The Musical" is an adaptation of the 1990 Academy Award-winning hit film. Sam and Molly are deeply in love. Their connection takes a shocking turn when Sam is killed in a mugging that turns out to be a planned murder by a close associate of the couple. Unwilling and unable to leave Molly, Sam hovers between two worlds and learns the truth of his murder. Ghost: The Musical is a touching love story about a connection that even death cannot sever. "Jersey Boys", the 2006 Tony Award-winning Best Musical, dramatizes the formation, success, and breakup of the 1960s group, The Four Seasons. The musical is structured in four seasons, each narrated by a different member of the group who gives his own perspective on the history and music of The Four Seasons. Jersey Boys is a high-energy, innovative musical that takes audiences behind the scenes of the group and its music in a classic rags-to-riches -- and back to rags -- story.
