Casting Teen Performers for "Something Rotten" Show

Talents ages 14 and up are invited to audition for the "Something Rotten" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self and all that jazz.
