Casting Teens for "Hadestown Teen Edition"

Casting ages 13-18 years old for "Hadestown Teen Edition". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Additional info: The initial audition will consist of a singing audition (please review the requirements below). The invitational callbacks will include dance, singing, and readings from the script. Please prepare a 32-bar ( approximately 60-second) cut from a song that fits the style of the show and suits your voice. Directors strongly recommend singing a song from the show. Avoid musicals from very different genres (“The Sound of Music”, for example, will not tell us how your voice will fit into this show!) Your audition song should be memorized and show your ability to portray the character’s emotions, mannerisms, etc. Dance will not be done until the invitational callback. Please bring a device to play your accompaniment track on, such as a smartphone. Note that the participation fee will be applied. REHEARSALS: Rehearsals will be held 3 times per week: Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays, 6-9. Mandatory Tech Week will be Sun, Aug 10 – Thurs, Aug 1,4, 5, 9. PERFORMANCES (Aug 15-17) Friday, Aug 15 at 7 pm Saturday, Aug 16 at 2 pm & 7 pm Sunday, Aug 17 at 2 pm Please download the attachment to complete the form. If interested, please apply.
