Singing Audition for "Urinetown" Play

Vocal Auditions Open for "Urinetown" Stage Production. See the details below. About the project: It is the future, and things aren’t looking so good. A twenty-year drought has caused a terrible water shortage, making private toilets unthinkable. Public amenities are all controlled by the mega-corporation, Urine Good Company, which charges a fee for each trip to the bathroom. Strict laws ensure that all citizens use only these facilities, and failure to comply results in an immediate escort to “Urinetown”, the mysterious place from which no one ever returns. On an ordinary morning, the oppressed masses huddle in line at Public Amenity #9, the poorest, filthiest urinal in town, which is run by Penelope Pennywise and her young assistant, Bobby Strong. Bobby’s father, Old Man Strong, is unable to pay for his daily admission. He begs Pennywise to let him in for free, but she refuses, insisting that “It’s a Privilege to Pee.” Out of desperation, Old Man Strong pees on the street illegally – and is sent straight to Urinetown. Later that day, in the offices of Urine Good Company, the corrupt CEO, Caldwell B. Cladwell, pays off Senator Fipp for helping pass the new fee hikes that will bring more money to UGC. They are interrupted by the arrival of Cladwell’s beautiful daughter, Hope. She has just returned from The Most Expensive University in the World to be the new fax/copy girl for UGC. The staff sings Cladwell’s praises in “Mr. Cladwell.” Additional info: Please note: there is a production fee applied.

Dance Auditions: You do not need any prior dance experience to audition for Urinetown! To be considered for a part, you are required to do a small dance combination at the auditions. Be sure to wear clothes you can move in (sweat pants, shorts, leggings, etc.) and bring a water bottle! Callbacks: Callbacks will be held on Wednesday, April 23, and Thursday, April 24th, from 6 pm to 9 pm. If you are called back, you will need to be prepared to attend one of the callback days with your materials prepped and ready to perform. The callback materials will be emailed to you upon receiving a callback, and they will be available in printed form at the callbacks. If you do not get a callback, that DOES NOT mean you are not in the show; similarly, getting called back does not guarantee that you have been cast. Please see the attachment for details. If you are interested please apply.
