Singing Audition for Production of "Dogfight"
The company is holding auditions for “Dogfight” show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: On November 21, 1963, the eve of their deployment to a small but growing conflict in Southeast Asia, three young Marines set out for one final boys’ night of debauchery, partying, and maybe a little trouble. But when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress whom he enlists to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of love and compassion, and the unexpected lessons that can come from a game gone wrong. Additional info: Production Dates: February 7-23, 2025 Fri/Sat at 7:30 PM Sun at 2:00 PM Prepare 32 bars (or approximately 1-minute) from a musical theatre song in the style of the show (please no songs from the actual production).
