"Merrily We Roll Along" Play Seeks Kids and Teens

Open auditions for the Stephen Sondheim musical, "Merrily We Roll Along." Child actors needed. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along tells the story of three friends—Franklin Shepard, Charley Kringas, and Mary Flynn—and their journey through friendship, ambition, and disillusionment in the entertainment industry. The show begins in 1976 and moves backward in time over 20 years, ending in 1957, when the trio first met as young, idealistic dreamers. As the story unfolds in reverse, we see: Frank, once a talented composer, became a wealthy but soulless movie producer; Charley, his writing partner, grows frustrated by Frank’s compromises; Mary, a novelist, drifts into bitterness and alcoholism after watching her friends fall apart. The musical ends where it emotionally begins—at the start of their friendship—full of hope, creativity, and promise, making the journey all the more poignant.
