Performers Needed for Theatre Audition "Lend Me A Tenor"

Bastrop, TX, United States
ID: 276371Exp: 1/11/2025
Description:

Male and female talent are needed for the "Lend Me A Tenor" show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Lend Me A Tenor is set in September 1934. It’s 1934, and the world’s greatest tenor Tito Merelli has come to Cleveland, Ohio, to save its Grand Opera Company by singing Pagliacci. When he’s unexpectedly incapacitated, Max, the Opera Director’s meek assistant, is given the daunting task of finding a last-minute replacement. Chaos ensues – including a scheming soprano, a star-struck ingénue, a jealous wife, and more than a bit of mistaken identity. A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End, this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave you teary-eyed with laughter. Additional info: Schedule: Rehearsals are typically Monday through Thursday 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. March 23 — March 27 is Tech Week. For the success of the production, attendance at these rehearsals and at all performances is mandatory for the entire cast and crew, except for emergencies and known conflicts. Performances: March 28 thru April 6, 2025, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Call time is one hour before show time. Actors will be asked to do cold readings from parts of the script. Apply, if interested.
