Seeking Performers for "Ballad of the Merry Folx” Show
The company is holding auditions for "Ballad of the Merry Folx” show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: A story of resilience and the power of community, this energetic reimagining of Robin Hood for our times follows a young professional Marian, recently moved to the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of New Nottingham, only to get embroiled in the conflict between her unhoused neighbors, the landlords, and the Sheriff. Laugh, cheer, and sing along with Robin and the Merry Folx as they hatch an audacious plan to steal a life of dignity for all. Additional info: WHAT TO PREPARE: A verse and chorus of a song that best showcases your talent. Bring an extra verse and chorus of a contrasting song just in case we'd like to hear more. Please bring a karaoke track (This can be from Youtube) on a smartphone, laptop, iPad, or iPod. Directors will have a hookup to speakers at the venue. If you have a fancy new phone without a headphone jack, bring your dongle. No acapella singing. You must have a track to sing with. You will read “sides” (AKA excerpts) from the script. You can request to read for any part and we may have you read for specific parts we think you’d be suitable for. A short and simple dance combo. 1 week prior to the auditions we will send a youtube link to learn a short 8 bar combo that you’ll perform for us at your audition. Relax and have fun! Directors just want to see how you move. Lack of dance experience is not a deal breaker. Please apply if interested.
