"Urinetown" the Musical Casting Actors
"Urinetown" the musical needs cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below. About the project: In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the ‘comedic romp` into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter. Additional info: ARRIVE ON TIME: Auditions begin promptly at 10 a.m. Late arrivals may not be allowed to audition. Directors will start with singing auditions, then teach a dance combination, and end with small group dance auditions. Acting auditions will be held at callbacks. VOCALS: Bring sheet music; an accompanist will be provided. Prepare 16 bars of a song from a musical; choose a song that best showcases the quality of your voice and best shows your range.

Actors will be notified via email; that email will include scenes and songs to be printed and prepared. CALLBACKS: Wednesday, May 28 @ 6:30 pm IF YOU ARE OFFERED A ROLE IN THIS PRODUCTION: You agree to make a full commitment to this show. -- If at any time after you accept a role, other opportunities or non-emergency commitments arisethat conflict with regular rehearsal or posted performance times, you will fulfill the commitment you have made to this production and decline the other opportunity. It is your job to resolve any conflicts that arise before rehearsal/performance and to arrive on time each and every day that you are called. The director agrees only to accommodate conflicts that you’ve listed on the audition form. -- Depending on your role, you may be called for 4-6 rehearsals per week. Actors will only be called to rehearsals for which they are needed; the final schedule is subject to change based on progress made in rehearsal. -- Therefore, you must keep your schedule flexible even for days you are not initially called. **The full cast will be called for every rehearsal as they head into tech. All tech and performance dates are mandatory. REHEARSALS: Rehearsals will begin June 2. They rehearse Mon - Fri evenings (generally 6-9 - will determine precise times once directors have the cast) as well as Saturday mornings, usually until 1 or 2.
