Dayton, OH, United States
ID: 286693Exp: 6/24/2025
Description:

Audition for "Parade" The Musical. Looking for performers and singers. Please see the details below. About the project: In 1913, Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Georgia, is put on trial for the murder of thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan, a factory worker under his employ. Already guilty in the eyes of everyone around him, a sensationalist publisher and a janitor's false testimony seal Leo's fate. His only defenders are a governor with a conscience and, eventually, his assimilated Southern wife who finds the strength and love to become his greatest champion. Daring, innovative and bold, Parade is filled with soaring music and a heart-wrenching story, offering a moral lesson about the dangers of prejudice and ignorance that should not be forgotten. Additional info: If necessary, Callbacks will be on June 25, 2025 What: Please prepare up to 32 bars of a Broadway-style song that shows your vocal range and expression. An accompanist or Bluetooth speaker will be provided. Please be prepared to learn a brief dance combination to demonstrate movement ability. Auditions begin at 7, so please arrive with enough time to fill out the audition form. Please also bring any conflicts that fall within the rehearsal period of June 30 and August 22. If interested, please apply.
