Performers Required for Musical "Into the Woods"
Auditions for upcoming production of "Into the Woods". Actors needed. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the breakdown below. About the project: James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching. 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, 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. While everyone's wish is granted and they all receive their happily ever after, the unintended consequences of their granted wishes unravel their worlds. Weaving a euphoric score including the songs “Giants in the Sky,” “On the Steps of the Palace,” “No One Is Alone,” and “Children Will Listen” with a darkly humorous book, Into the Woods is a sophisticated musical twist on beloved childhood fables. Additional info: Please prepare a brief vocal audition in the style of the musical, preferably with sheet music. Make sure that your song is under one minute long and preferably not a song from Into the Woods. An accompanist will be provided. There will be no dance/movement during the first audition. Actors may be asked to stay and read a few sides from the script. Six performances from February 28, 2025 through March 8, 2025. If you are interested, please apply.
