Singers Needed for Gig "Into The Woods"
The upcoming production of "Into The Woods" seeks performers. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack (of beanstalk fame), who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse — and along the way encounter a Mysterious Man, nasty step-sisters, a hungry girl in a red cape, a hungry wolf, charming princes, and more. As the tales twist and turn, everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. The characters band together as they realize “no one is alone,” and offer a final moral to the story: “Careful the things you say, children will listen.” Additional info: Auditioners should prepare 32 bars (Or about a minute) from a musical theater song. Everyone will be asked to perform scales with the music director to determine vocal range. Please bring your own tracks for accompaniment or plan to sing acapella. Callbacks by invitation: Wednesday, November 13. If you are interested please apply.
