Singing Opportunities for Teens in Production "Something Wicked"

Singing opportunities for teens in the production of "Something Wicked". Please find the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: A tragic tale of power, ambition, murder, and the supernatural, Shakepeare's Macbeth gets an over the top, campy twist with outrageous original rock songs inspired by 80’s hair metal bands! In our adaption of the famous play, King Duncan is Duncan King, the over the hill lead singer of the band “Something Wicked.” Macbeth, a back up vocalist for the band, and wannabe star, and his ambitious wife Lady M plot to take over the band and boot Duncan out, by any means necessary. The plot thickens as Macbeth meets a strange punk rock band called “The Weird Sisters” who give him a slew of cryptic prophecies that are the catalyst for all of Macbeth and Lady M’s evil doings. Rate: VOLUNTEER POSITIONS ONLY. NO PAY. Additional info: - A verse and chorus of a rock song that best showcases your talent. Please no musical theater unless it’s in a rock style. Bring an extra verse and chorus of a contrasting song just in case the directors like to hear more. Please bring a karaoke track (This can be from Youtube) on a smartphone, laptop, iPad, or iPod. The directors will have a hookup to speakers at the venue. If you have a fancy new phone without a headphone jack, bring your dongle. No acapella singing. You must have a track to sing with. - The directors will have you read “sides” (AKA excerpts) from the script. You can request to read for any part and the directors may have you read for specific parts the directors think you’d be suitable for. Sides will be emailed out a week prior to the audition. They do not need to be memorized. - A short and simple dance combo. 1 week prior to the auditions the directors will send a YouTube link to learn a short 8-bar combo that you’ll perform for us during your audition. Relax and have fun! The directorsjust want to see how you move. Lack of dance experience is not a deal breaker. - Each auditioner will be signing up for a 10-minute audition slot Actors will be required to provide their own make-up, undergarments (like tights), and some street clothes and things from their own closets. Most other costumes and wigs will be provided. Actors will be required to assist with some setup/ tear down of the space between shows and dress/techs and with the final “strike” at the end of the run. REHEARSALS: The directors only rehearse on Sunday evenings for several months and then stat to add other nights per week as the directors get closer to the show opening. If you are the type of person who needs to rehearse every night of the week for 4 months straight in order to get your part down, this is NOT the company for you. The directors expect actors to come prepared and do work on their own to polish their lines and choreo. It's a short rehearsal process and has been challenging for some actors in the past who are used to more traditional community theater schedules. Please see the attachment for details.
