The company is holding auditions for “Next to Normal” Show and looking for performers, please see the details below.
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED.
About the project:
From the outside, they’re just a normal family. But inside, it’s anything but. In this 2010 Pulitzer Prize-winner, a suburban household copes with crisis and the unpredictability of a mother’s worsening bipolar disorder. Using wry humor, brutal honesty, and a powerful Tony Award-winning contemporary rock score, Next to Normal deals with how far two parents will go to keep their family’s world intact. Nothing has to be perfect, just Next to Normal.
Rate:
Unpaid.
Additional info:
Please prepare a song (16 bars or up to one minute) and be prepared for some movement during auditions. An accompanist will be provided so please bring sheet music. You may also be asked to read from the script and sides will not be available in advance.
