Casting Call for "Something Rotten" Play

Loveland, OH, United States
ID: 285588Exp: 6/1/2025
Description:

Auditions for "Something Rotten" show. Directors are looking for actors, singers and dancers. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Additional info: SOMETHING ROTTEN! runs November 7-23, 2025. NOTE: The rehearsal schedules list every possible rehearsal (dance and staging); however, it is very unlikely that any cast member will have to be at all the listed rehearsals. The dance rehearsals will be focused on featured dancers (with focus on tap), leads (when needed), and the ensemble (when needed for the big, company numbers). NOTE: There are 9 dance rehearsals during the summer. Directors don't anticipate cast members being required for all sessions. After the show has been cast, directors will identify specific dances on specific dates and the required cast members based on everyone's schedule. The staging rehearsals will be coordinated to minimize idle time (when possible). NOTE: After the show is cast and directors have everyone's schedule, directors will create a scene/character specific schedule so people know whether rehearsal are required from them. Of course, toward the end everyone will need to be rehearsals so directors can run full scenes, transitions and dance numbers. This is why they're asking for schedule conflicts early so directors can lay out an overall schedule. See more info in the form. If interested, please apply.
