Summer 2024 Musical: "Bye Bye Birdie" Seeks Kids
Audition for Summer 2024 Musical: "Bye Bye Birdie". Auditions are open to teens aged 12+ with a desire to perform on stage. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Additional info: Looking for talented, hard-working actors, singers, and dancers of all ages and ethnicities. Those auditioning for a named character or featured role will need to perform both a short (1 minute or less) comedic monologue and at least 16 bars of an up-tempo song or ballad from a Broadway musical. Be sure to bring your own digital accompaniment or, if you prefer piano accompaniment, bring sheet music with all cuts or repetitions clearly marked. (Please let us know on the audition sign-up if you will be needing piano accompaniment, and for what song.) A cappella is fine, too. If you only want to be considered for the ensemble, you may choose to opt out of performing a monologue, but you must sing and perform a song in character, moving and acting like the character. If you are a dancer and only wish to be in the ensemble, no need to prepare a song, but we will have you sing scales at the piano. See the document attached for details. If interested, please apply.
