Description

Searching for performers, singers and dancers for “Footloose the Musical”. Please see the details below.

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.

About the project:
An electrifying dance musical! Book by Dean Pritchford and Walter Bobbie, Music by Tom Snow, Lyrics by Dean Pritchford based on the film of the same name, this toe-tapping musical is set in the little southern town of Bomont, where dancing has been outlawed by the Reverend Shaw Moore after a terrible accident. New arrival Ren McCormack is quick to stir up trouble when he catches the eye of Moore’s rebellious daughter, Ariel, and comes up with the idea to throw a dance for the town. With an Oscar-nominated score and dynamic new songs, this show will make you want to cut loose!

Rate:
Everyone cast in the production will be paid a non-union stipend as a 1099 contractor. Directors require all performers to submit a W-9 before they can be paid for the production. You will receive a 1099 form in early 2025 for all work contracted.

Additional info:
Participants will sing and dance in groups in their time slot. Please plan to be at the initial audition for about 2 hours from when your audition time begins.
Auditioners will first complete a vocal audition for the production team and then will learn a dance combination from our choreographer.
All auditioners will participate in the dance call, regardless of desired roles. Please come to the audition dressed in comfortable clothing for dance/movement for the full audition, as directors will not have space for everyone to change after vocal auditions are complete.
Vocal Audition:
Please come prepared with 32 bars of a song in the style of the show (Pop/rock, country, rockabilly), and make sure we hear your belt. If you are auditioning for one of the adult roles, please prepare 32 bars of any style of musical theatre song with no belting requirement. An accompanist will be provided so please bring your audition song in a binder in the key you would like to sing in with any cuts clearly marked.
Dance Audition:
Please come to the audition dressed in your dance attire, and warm up and stretch before you arrive or while you wait to sing. Directors will move directly into the dance audition as soon as the last person in the group has sung for the production team. Please wear soft-soled shoes such as sneakers or jazz shoes. Please avoid heels (including character shoes) or hard-soled shoes as the dance call will take place on a hard, semi-slick surface.
Callbacks will be on Sunday, March 17th.
The production is scheduled to open on Wednesday, July 10, and close on Saturday, August 10.
Rehearsals are scheduled to begin on Saturday, June 1.

If interested, please apply.
