We are looking for 13 of Cleveland's most talented teenage performers (7
boys, 6 girls) to create the Ohio premiere cast. Please note: All performers
should be able to realistically play 13 years of age. Not sure that this
fits you? Come audition anyway!! Don't count yourself out! Also, please know
that we will be double-casting some of the roles.
Here's the information about auditions:
** Auditions will be held on November 10 & 12 from 6:30-8:30pm @ Mayfield
Village Civic Center, 6622 Wilson Mills Rds., Mayfield Village (corner of
Wilson Mills Rd. and SOM Center Rd.). Auditions will be by appointment. Just
call the Fairmount Center (440-338-3171) to schedule your time slot.
** Please prepare 32-bars of an uptempo pop/rock song that shows range (this
does not have to be from a musical). Provide sheet music in the correct key.
An accompanist will be provided. No acapella auditions.
** Bring comfortable clothes to move in as you may be asked to stay and
dance.
** Please bring a headshot (or recent photo) and resume stapled together.
** Callbacks will be held on Nov. 14th from 3:00-6:00pm. We may also have
callbacks on Nov. 15th from 3:00-6:00pm, but this is not solidified yet.
The production will begin rehearsal on Saturday, January 16th. Rehearsals
will be Tuesdays-Sundays. Weekday rehearsals will be 5:30-9:00pm, Saturdays
and Sundays will be 3 to 4 hour afternoon rehearsals (times TBD).
