Casting Performers for "Assassins" Show

Jackson, WY, United States
ID: 274714Exp: 12/7/2024
Description:

The company is holding auditions for "Assassins" show and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim’s signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation’s culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America’s four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical “revusical” that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream. Additional info: The performances will run the week of March 3-10, 2025 Auditions will consist of three parts: Dance Audition – You will work with our choreographers to learn some simple combinations. Please dress comfortably. Wear clean, dry dance shoes or sneakers. This show is not super Dance heavy, so don’t be afraid of dancing.
