Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for "One Small Misstep" play. More details are below. About the project: "One Small Misstep" is a brand-new original musical comedy that takes audiences on a wild ride from astronaut training camp to the far reaches of space – and beyond. Samantha Higgins has dreamed of walking on the moon her whole life, but the path to the stars isn’t all science and glory. Between bizarre training simulations, eccentric crew-mates, a snarky onboard computer, and a few larger-than-life game-world characters, the journey quickly becomes more misstep than moonwalk. Full of sharp wit, clever satire, and over-the-top characters, One Small Misstep is both a space adventure and a tongue-in-cheek look at ambition, competition, and teamwork. With a mix of heartfelt moments and outrageous comedy, this premiere production invites performers to help bring a brand-new musical universe to life. Rate: This show is a profit share. All actors will receive an honorarium based on ticket sales. Additional information: The musical will be presented from January 28-31, 2025 for five performances. Rehearsals for the show will start in October. There will be one 3-4 hour rehearsal on Saturdays and 2 evening rehearsals. Please prepare 32 bars (one or two minutes) of a musical theatre song that best demonstrates your vocal abilities. Please come prepared with sheet music so the pianist will be able to provide you with piano accompaniment. If you're interested, please apply.
