Description:

Casting performers for "Into the Woods" and "Rock of Ages" shows. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 1. "Into the Woods" The story follows The Baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to go to the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give him some milk. When the Baker and his wife are visited by the neighborhood witch, who reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family, the two set off on a journey into the woods to reverse the curse. Also in the woods, we meet Little Red, who is trying to visit her grandmother, the Wolf who loves tasty little girls, the Witch’s daughter Rapunzel, and the Princes chasing after their loves. By the end of Act I, everyone has gotten their wish and will seemingly live happily ever after. But in Act II, when Jack’s Beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry Giant, we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways. The community must come together to save each other and their kingdom, but sacrifices must be made. 2. "Rock of Ages" Rock of Ages is a jukebox musical built around classic rock songs from the 1980s, especially from the famous glam metal bands of that decade. The musical features songs from Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Europe, among other well-known rock bands. It was written by Chris D’Arienzo, directed by Kristin Hanggi and choreographed by Kelly Devine with music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Ethan Popp. Additional info: 1st Play: Please come prepared with a song from the musical that goes with the part you are auditioning for from the show. The song MUST BE FROM THE SHOW. (You may audition for more than one role, but only ONE song is needed for the main audition.) You will be asked to sing additional songs if called back. Those pieces will be emailed to you after your main audition. 2nd Play: For General auditions for Rock of Ages RCT is asking you to come prepared with a song of choice in the style of the show. Please bring a track to accompany you and be aware you may be asked to “rock out” with your song! If interested, please apply.
