The company is holding open auditions for its Summer 2024 production of the musical masterpiece “OLIVER!” and looking for performers, please see the details below.
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED.
Additional info:
Auditioners should also bring a calendar to indicate any scheduling conflicts they have between March and June. Performances will be the evenings of June 14, 15, 21 and 22, and Sunday matinees on the afternoons of June 16 and 23.
Every auditioner should prepare 16 bars of a song to sing (the director may cut off longer selections in the interest of time), and should bring either sheet music for a piano accompanist or a karaoke track. Actors are asked to prepare a musical theatre song in the style of the show, but nothing from this musical (Oliver!). Every auditioner will also be asked to participate in a short dance audition, so please wear clothes that you can move in and no sneakers.
