Description:

Open auditions for an original musical "A Fine Family". Casting teen girls ages 13-17. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: A Fine Family is the story of… well… a fine family, perhaps much like one you know. This particular family is gathering for a meeting the day before a memorial service. The most eccentric family member, who apparently is falling apart, is the only one who knows what the meeting is about, and she hasn’t arrived yet. The aggrieved hostess refuses to ask for help, despite her spouse’s pleas. Her know-it-all sister is convinced she can fix everything with exercise, another family member sidesteps responsibility with charm, and still another does his best to hide in plain sight. The whole family plays their “assigned” roles like only a family can. This musical comedy provides an opportunity to laugh at yourself and people you know without pointing fingers. Fortunately for all of us, love wins in the end. Additional info: You only need to attend one of these sessions. People of all genders, abilities and ethnicities are encouraged to audition. Please prepare approximately one minute of a song of your choice. Please sing a cappella or bring your own accompaniment (recorded or an accompanist; keyboard provided). You will be asked to sing a major scale to determine vocal range and where your voice is strongest. A piano accompaniment will be provided for this. Auditions will also involve cold readings from the script. Sides will be provided. A digital copy of the script may be provided upon request. You may provide a headshot or a photo will be taken at the time of audition. Please bring a calendar with all your conflicts. Musical keys may be adjusted to meet the needs of performers. Experience with dancing is not necessary. Rehearsals will be held Sunday through Thursday evenings starting in mid-February (subject to change based on cast availability.) Readthrough in late January. Attendance is mandatory April 14–24 and all performances. SHOW DATES April 25, 26 and May 2, 3 at 7:30 p.m. April 27 and May 4 at 2:30 p.m. If you are interested, please apply.
