Teen Performers Needed for "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" Show
The company is holding auditions for "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Marge and her stagestruck best friend Lois arrive at “Esther’s Paradise Resort” in the Catskills on Labor Day Weekend in 1960, on a vacation that was intended to be Marge’s honeymoon — until the groom left her at the altar. Lois attempts to console Marge by setting her up with the resort’s handsome, self-obsessed singer Del Delmonaco. Gazing forlornly at Marge from the wings is geekish cabana boy and aspiring songwriter Gabe. When he isn’t entertaining the guests with classic, but still comical Borscht Belt shtick, house comic Harvey secretly carries a torch for widowed resort owner Esther, who is more preoccupied trying to keep her resort open. Rate: There is a small stipend. Additional info: Please bring a headshot, resume, and your calendar to list any conflicts on the audition form. Please prepare a 1-minute up-tempo song selection in the style of the show. Be prepared to dance. Rehearsals start March 10th and run Mon-Thurs from 6:30-9:30pm and Sat from 10am-2pm. Tech week schedule is TBD Performances: April 18th thru May 11th If you are interested please apply.
