AUDITIONS: “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”

Posted by Daniel On February - 1 - 2012

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Directed by Laura Garner

Music Direction by Lynn Marshall

Choreography by Heather Shepley

Performance dates:  June 7-July 1, 2012, Thursday-Sunday

PROTOCOL: Be there at the start of the audition time. * First 30 minutes: Everyone — movement with choreographer. LEADS must also do this audition. * Second 30-45 minutes: Ensemble dancers: More challenging dance with choreographer; Ensemble singers and leads: 5-minute individual auditions with music director and director. Sing “Happy Birthday” (no need to learn anything) — the ability to hold your own in harmony is a must, as is personality. * Final 30-45 minutes (Anyone not auditioning for a leading role may leave):
LEADS: Bring the music to a PREPARED piece. Choose 16 bars of a song that really shows off your vocal range and acting ability. If you choose a song from “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” that’s fine as long as it’s one of the following:
- for FREDDY: “Love Is My Legs”
- for LAWRENCE: “Dirty Rotten Number”
- for CHRISTINE: “Here I Am” or her verse in “Love Is My Legs”
- for ANDRE: “Chimp in a Suit” or start of “Like Zis, Like Zat”
- for MURIEL: “What Was a Woman to Do?”

AUDITIONS: “Riders to the Sea”

Audition dates:

Thursday, February 2 at 6:00 p.m.

Riders to the Sea by J.M. Synge is an Irish play wrought with the tragedy of the life of the sea.  It will be paired with local art and poetry which express the complexities of the ocean which surrounds us here on Cape Cod.  Available roles for females from late teens through fifties, and males twenties through fifties.  Those with smaller roles in the play will be more involved in the poetry reading (no memorization for that portion).  Come be a part of history then and now.

Directed by Erin Trainor.

Performances will be held in the Black Box Theater,  March 16-31, Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm
