Theatre Casting Call for Upcoming Shows

Holding auditions for 2 upcoming theatre shows, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: 1. "The Sound of Music" The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision. 2. "Murder At The Renaissance Faire" Stiff competition from nearby Medieval World threatens to drive the annual Renaissance Faire out of business. Attendance is plunging, especially at the traditional Shakespeare production. Who wants to spend three hours on a wooden bench watching a play they don’t understand? To survive, the faire needs a new vibe that appeals to younger audiences. Enter a new director and her plan to stage a program called ”Great Death Scenes from Shakespeare.” It seems like a killer idea until the famous Shakespearean actor playing Romeo goes missing, and he is replaced by a brash, young actor of questionable talent. As a major storm approaches, the missing actor is found murdered most foul. Someone, it seems, believes the pen is not as mighty as the sword. ”Great Death Scenes from Shakespeare” is about to get real. Very real. Additional info: Play Auditions: You do not need to prepare anything. Actors will be instructed to read pieces from the script at auditions. Musical Auditions: You will need to prepare 16-32 bars of a musical piece that showcases your vocal range. There will also be a dance component that you will learn and perform in a group audition. Please apply if interested.
