Dancer Auditions for "Matilda" Show
Looking for males and females for "Matilda The Musical". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book of the same name, Matilda follows Matilda Wormwood, a bright little girl who immerses herself in books. Matilda is discarded and belittled by her dimwitted parents—her father insists on calling her a boy and harps on her “stupidity” for preferring reading to watching the telly—and her hostile headmistress, the outrageous and wicked Miss Trunchbull. Reclusive, but with an ever-growing imagination and sharp mind, and with a caring protector in her teacher Miss Honey, Matilda dreams of a better life, daring to take a stand against unjust forces and to grasp her destiny in her own, tiny hands. Additional info: Please arrive 30 minutes early for your audition appointment so nobody’s time is wasted. You will be free to leave after your audition. Wear clothes that you can move in comfortably, especially if you have gymnastic ability – directors may ask to see some! Everybody should be prepared to sing “Happy Birthday” at their audition. Directors may ask you to sing it in different keys and different styles. Callbacks will be held on Tuesday if needed, along with any overflow from the previous auditions. Directors will notify you as soon as possible if we would like you to attend. Performance Dates: July 25 & 26 – 8:00 pm; July 27 – 2:30 pm; August 1 & 2 – 8:00 pm; August 3 – 2:30 pm.
