Description:

Performers in 9th grade and up are welcome to audition for Green Day’s "American Idiot". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Johnny, Tunny and Will struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. When the three disgruntled friends flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend to familial responsibilities, and Johnny’s attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled rock opera, American Idiot features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day’s groundbreaking albums to execute the storyline.​ Additional info: Please prepare: 1) 32 bars of a character-driven song, in the style of the show (rock n roll), and bring sheet music in a binder for our accompanist. 2) The choreographed dance.
