Teen Actors Needed for "Dear Edwina" Show

Seeking ages 12-18 for "Dear Edwina" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Dear Edwina follows 13-year-old Edwina Spoonapple, a musical advice-giver extraordinaire—think a spunky, singing version of Dear Abby—as she sets her sights on the Kalamazoo Advice-a-Palooza Festival. With help from her siblings, quirky friends, and neighbors, Edwina turns her family garage into a stage, tackling the world’s biggest (and funniest) problems through song—from birthday party etiquette to proper table manners. Additional info: Prepare 30-60 seconds of a song, ideally in the style of the show. Have the song ready to play on your phone (no speaker hook-up) or sing a capella. Scripts will be provided during the audition for cold readings to assess character fit. No monologue or advanced preparation needed! No tuition fee - this is a Spotlight Showcase for our advanced students! Rehearsals will begin the week following auditions. Rehearsals generally take place Monday through Thursday from 6:00-8:30 pm. A more detailed rehearsal schedule will be provided to cast members. Work Days (build and paint set, help with costumes, etc.) are required and take place on the following Saturdays from 9:00am-12:00pm: Feb. 28th, March 7th, and March 14th. Actors will be expected to attend all work calls and rehearsals unless it's an excused absence. However, directors strive to be an inclusive environment where we work around school and other commitments. During the audition process, directors will ask about your availability and schedule conflicts.
