Auditions for Musical "Ragtime"
Looking for men and women for "Ragtime!". Please see the details below. About the project: At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing... and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair... and what it means to live in America. Additional info: - Be prepared to sing 16-32 bars of a musical theatre song of your choice (fast or slow doesn't matter). We will provide an audition pianist if you bring sheet music. Recorded music can also be used but must have the capability to connect via Bluetooth - There will also be a dance/movement component so dress accordingly - There may also be readings from the script Callbacks, if needed, will be held on February 11 at 6:00 pm. If interested, please apply.
