Performers for "Shout!" and "The Wizard Of Oz" Shows
Upcoming auditions for "Shout!" and "The Wizard Of Oz" shows. In search of cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below. About the project: "SHOUT!": With its irresistible blend of hip-swiveling hits, eye-popping fashions and outrageous dance moves, SHOUT! The Mod Musical takes audiences back to the music, style and freedom of the 1960s. The review follows five groovy gals as they come of age during those glorious days that made England swing. Traveling in time from 1960 to 1970, SHOUT! chronicles the dawning liberation of women, from the rise of Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark and Cilla Black as independent women with major careers, to their American counterparts, redefining themselves in the face of changing attitudes about gender. With a shimmy and shake, the songs are tied together by hilarious sound bites from the period – from '60s advertisements to letters answered by an advice columnist who thinks that every problem can be solved with a "fetching new hair style and a new shade of lipstick." "THE WIZARD OF OZ": The Wizard of Oz is a faithful stage adaptation of the classic 1939 film, following Dorothy Gale from Kansas to the magical land of Oz after a tornado. With her dog Toto and new friends the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion, she journeys to the Emerald City to find the Wizard who can send her home. Along the way, they must overcome the Wicked Witch of the West and learn the power of friendship and the meaning of "home".
