Description:

"Little Women" the musical casting actors. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the breakdown below. About the project: Synopsis: Based on Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America. Additional info: Audition Sides are attached. Choose and prepare one audition side. (Note: choose the audition side that shows your best as an actor, regardless of the gender or age of the character.) Sides do NOT need to be memorized, though it is recommended to be familiar with the material prior to auditioning. Prepare up to one minute of a song from the show or a song in the style of the show.
