** PLEASE NOTE: This show is rescheduled and was already in rehearsals in 2020 when it was canceled due to COVID.  

The actors who were originally cast in that production are being contacted and will be given the first refusal for their roles, we will let you know which roles are available at auditions.  Many of the actors have moved on or are unavailable to continue in their roles.

We are trying to find contact information for all of those who were originally cast, if you were on that cast, please get in touch with Jess Glass on Facebook.  Anyone who we are unable to contact, or doesn’t return messages, we will need to re-cast those roles.

 

As of this moment; the role of Lionel is already cast.**

REHEARSAL PROCESS 

 

Our rehearsal schedule will be shortened and we will be holding rehearsals on Sunday evenings, plus 2-3 Weekday Evenings each week (based on Cast availability).

In the beginning, we will only call those cast members needed for rehearsal, until we start running the acts in Early April. 

Call time for rehearsal is 5 - 9 PM on Sundays and 6:45  - 9:15 PM on Weeknights.

 

There will be up to 25 rehearsals for this show, not including tech week.  In the beginning, we will not need everyone for every rehearsal. 

 

As we get nearer to opening night and start running the show, rehearsals will run later, but we will do our best to start on time and get out as early as possible. 

 

AUDITION PREPARATION

 

PLEASE BRING A LIST OF ALL POTENTIAL CONFLICTS WITH YOU TO AUDITIONS.  This helps us to plan our rehearsal schedule to utilize our time together. 

 

Please prepare a 1 minute (16-32 bars) audition song that highlights your vocal range. 

 If you would like to prepare something in the style of this show, that’s great, but please DO NOT prepare a song from Cinderella.. 

 

Please come prepared with a backing track on your device ready to connect to the speaker through a Bluetooth connection or AV cord. If you have an Apple device, please bring an AV dongle. 

 

The audition will also include a movement audition, so please dress appropriately.

 

We will have sides prepared and will have you do a cold reading from the script, in the form of scenes with a partner or group.
