Performers Wanted for "Once" Musical Show

The company is holding auditions for "Once" Musical Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by emotionally charged music. Featuring all of the magical songs from the critically acclaimed film, including the Oscar-winning "Falling Slowly," this achingly beautiful, joyously uplifting show strikes an unforgettable chord in audiences and speaks to the power of music to connect us all. A show like this only comes around Once. Rate: $300.00 per performer. Additional info: Show dates: February 20 - March 2, 2025 Rehearsal dates: Wednesdays 6:00pm-9:00pm and Sundays 2:00pm-5:00pm; plus one more day to be determined based on cast availability. What to prepare for the preliminary audition: Bring in a 32-bar cut of a self-accompanied song. If you play an instrument that is not conducive to self-accompaniment (i.e., wind instruments) you may prepare a separate excerpt that does not need to be accompanied. If you play multiple instruments please feel free to bring them all! An accompanist will be available, as will a keyboard, electric drum kit, and amp for your use. All auditioners must play a musical instrument. Directors welcome any instruments but are especially seeking: guitar, mandolin, banjo, drums/percussion, violin, cello, bass (upright or electric), piano, accordion. Callbacks will be held on Nov. 13 from 6pm-8:30pm (by invitation). There will be a movement call and auditioners will be given sides to read. You may be asked to attempt an Irish or Czech accent, but having a perfected accent is not a requirement - there will be dialect coaching made available to the cast. Please apply is interested.
