Singing Audition for "Kilroy Was Here" Show
Seeking performers ages 6 and up for "Kilroy Was Here". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Salute the brave men and women serving in the military with this patriotic comedy. We guarantee there won’t be a dry eye in the house after the stirring ’Together We Must Stand’ and a tribute to all branches of the military. Still, Kilroy is a comedy, and the setting is a U.S.O. Club (’The Servicemen's ’Home Away From Home’’) in Brooklyn in 1942. Ships leaving the nearby Navy yard are being sunk by enemy U-boats. Allied intelligence suspects the club is unknowingly harboring Axis spies. Enter Private Joe Kilroy, a young soldier who draws a curious cartoon face everywhere he goes (and is this causing trouble!). He’s the only one who knows where the next Allied convoy will converge. The enemy agents are stopping at nothing to learn his secret. The action builds to an exciting finale during a wild radio broadcast. The score includes such hits as ’Don’t Say No To The U.S.O.,’ ’Slap That Jukebox,’ ’Jitterbug Saturday Night,’ and ’Rat-a-tat-tat That Rivet,’ with classic Andrews Sisters style harmony. The 1940s was a time of dynamic change and defined what is known today’s modern way of life. The term “teenager” was a brand new label as adolescence became savored, respected, and commercially catered to as never before. Since most men over 18 were in the service, this opened up the workforce for teenagers, as the entertainment industry began to thrive. Additional info: Prepare a 1-minute song (preferably in the style of the show) and a short monologue. Please bring your tracks on an electronic device; no accompanist. Please do not sing a cappella. Directors will also be doing cold readings from the script.
