Teens wanted for "Just Add Audience" and "Songs for a New World" – see details below! ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: "Just Add Audience" is a completely improvised two-act musical performed utilizing audience suggestions. It is performed as a Long Form Improv piece but also utilizes some aspects of Short Form Improv in its structure. It is preferred that performers have some background in improvisational theater, but that is not required to audition. Improv training will be provided to all performers as a part of the rehearsal process. "Songs for a New World" by Jason Robert Brown is a contemporary song cycle that weaves together differing characters that have each reached a crossroads moment in their life. The directors meet each character as they are at the exact moment that will catapult them on a new journey. The show explores the shared human experience of standing on the precipice of a new horizon. The show is mostly sung and contains very little dialogue. Performers in this show are asked to take on numerous characters throughout the show. Rate: STIPEND: $200 - $400 for adult roles, commensurate with role responsibilities. Additional info: Please prepare a ballad or up-tempo from a musical written in the 1960s or later. Please also bring a contrasting piece (i.e. if you chose a ballad for your first piece, your second piece should be an up-tempo from the same era) in case we want to hear a second piece. You are encouraged to also prepare pieces that show two very different characters. Please have sheet music for the provided pianist for both songs. Both songs should be under 3 minutes. The directors are not requesting a monologue, but definitely want to see your acting through your songs. "Just Add Audience" The initial audition will only consist of singing.
