Auditions for Musical "Into the Woods"
Auditions for Spring production of Sondheim's classic "Into the Woods". Looking for actors. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info 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. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Rate: This is an all-volunteer organization and all performance roles are unpaid. Additional info: Music: Prepare a vocal piece that is 16-32 bars (or 1 minute) in length in the style of the show, that shows your vocal range.
