Casting Equity Chorus Singers for "The Outsiders" Tour

Equity chorus singers for the Touring production of "The Outsiders". See breakdown below. About the project: Based on S.E. Hinton’s Novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s Film. SYNOPSIS: THE OUTSIDERS is a story about class, broken homes, protecting one’s turf, and the all-too-real American condition known as the “Haves and Have Nots.” It is a world of kids of every sort, from destitute outlaws, gas station workers, and high school dropouts (the Greasers), to the very well-appointed, college-bound, and wealthy (the Socs). This is Tulsa 1967, where to be a Soc means to be rich and white. To be a Greaser is to be poor, rejected by the Haves because of any number of facets: economic status, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity and any other facet that Tulsa Soc Society deems as "other". The Greasers are a group of boys who have created a chosen family that reflects the true diversity of Tulsa. Rate: Production (League)/Touring Agreement $1077 weekly minimum (Level 5) Additional info: Audition day break: 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM. Chorus singers may understudy principal roles.

Music Note: The sound of The Outsiders is a blend of folk, soul, southern rock, blues, with some elements of early country, hints of bluegrass and church revival. This is not a twangy score, no strong accents needed, not a hoedown or a hootenanny, but more of a celebration of Americana, traditions around acoustically driven, sincere, soulful, visceral human expression. Authenticity is key, as this should not feel like something put on, but the truest expression of these characters' emotional lives. For these reasons, directors are interested in unique and eclectic voices to comprise the company. For some stylistic references, see a playlist attached featuring artists such as Bonnie Raitt, The Band, Bill Withers, and more. If you are interested, please apply.
