Teen Performers for "Something Rotten!" Musical

Upcoming auditions for "Something Rotten!" musical. Seeking actors ages 16+. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: It’s the 1590s - welcome to the Renaissance! Brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of Shakespeare, that Renaissance rock star known also 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. This hilarious mash-up of sixteenth-century Shakespeare and twenty-first-century Broadway garnered ten Tony Award nominations! Additional info: Director’s forum: June 9, 2025, 7pm. This informational meeting will introduce you to the Director and the Creative Team, tell you a little bit about the musical, including the characters and songs, and tell you more about what they are looking for at Auditions.
