Rehearsals: Rehearsals will begin mid-November and Weekday rehearsals run Monday-Thursday evenings, while weekend rehearsals will typically take place on Saturday or Sunday from 12-4pm. Rehearsal times are subject to change and we request that you thoroughly indicate all weekday, weekend, and holiday conflicts on your Conflict Calendar. Actors must be available for tech week and all performances (February 7 – 23) (which includes Valentine’s Day). The rehearsal period overlaps with Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, though we do not anticipate rehearsing on 11/28–11/29, 12/24–12/26, and 12/31–1/1. Please be aware that quantity and frequency of conflicts during the rehearsal period will influence casting decisions. Borrowing from the casting directive from the authors of Be More Chill: this show works best with a cast of diverse misfits with personality and smarts who may not fit into traditional “types.” This isn’t a musical for the popular kids, it’s a musical for the Other kids. If interested, please apply.
3 roles
Jeremy’s retro-obsessed best friend. Quirky, self-assured, and content with the status quo. Vocal Range: B2–A4
Teenage bully. A little intense. A former loser who has climbed the high school social ladder through unique means. (We intend to cast a performer in this role who is shorter than the performer playing Jeremy, due to mentions of their respective heights in the script.) Vocal Range: Bb2–A4 (E5)
That girl who knows everyone’s business. Tries to use gossip as a means of connection. It doesn’t work very well. Vocal Range: G3–G5
