Description:

Looking to cast between 25-30 actors, ages 7 to 18 (or current seniors in high school) for "The Wizard of Oz". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Frank Baum’s classic novel comes to life in The Wizard of Oz. This faithful adaptation by the Royal Shakespeare Company features all the most beloved songs and moments from the 1939 classic film, brought to life onstage. When young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home. Additional info: Please prepare the song and side for your character. Music and sides do not need to be memorized, and we will provide copies at each audition. Callbacks will be by invitation only and will be held on Wednesday, 4/9 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. *AUDITION TIPS* Plan to arrive ten minutes before your designated time slot so you can check in with our team. Each audition group will do a group warmup, and auditioners will be able to sing through their songs together before the individual audition. You will learn a short dance routine at the audition, so wear comfortable clothing, and feel free to bring a water bottle. If interested, please apply.
