"Little Women" the Musical Needs Cast
Audition for "Little Women" the musical. Seeking cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the breakdown below. About the project: "Based on Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America." Additional info: There will not be a dance audition for this show. Rehearsals will have some limited flexibility to accommodate clearly communicated conflicts and absences. Performances are set in stone and non-negotiable. Rehearsals: Scheduled based on cast availability but directors expect to kick things off around Aug 30th.
