"Dear Evan Hansen" Play Seeks Teens

Seeking actors ages 14-18 for the "Dear Evan Hansen" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Seventeen-year-old Evan Hansen has felt invisible his entire life. But when a tragedy shocks his community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begins to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for. Additional info: Invitational callbacks for the show will be by invitation on Wed, 1/6 from 6-9. The initial audition will consist of a singing audition and acting exercise. The invitational callbacks will include dance, singing, and script readings. Please note: The plan is to double cast this show, with all lead performers joining the ensemble for the alternative productions. Audition Requirements: Please prepare a 32-bar (~60-second) cut from a song that fits the style of the show and suits your voice. This is a modern pop/rock musical, so consider songs from musicals like Be More Chill, Spring Awakening, Rent, Legally Blonde, Hadestown, Frozen, or The Greatest Showman. Selections from the show are also encouraged. If you are auditioning for a lead who belts, we need to hear you belt! Avoid musicals from very different genres (“Les Mis”, for example, will not tell us how your voice will fit into this show!) Your audition should be memorized and demonstrate your ability to portray the character’s emotions, mannerisms, and other traits. Dance will not be done until the invitational callback. Please bring a device to play your accompaniment track on, such as a smartphone. Rehearsals will be held 3 times per week: Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, 6-9. Tech Week rehearsals are mandatory and will be Sun 5/2 through Thurs 5/6, 5-9 pm. The first rehearsal will be Sunday, 1/10.
