Though not “musicals,” the shows will prominently feature live original music and several songs. The director hopes to cast several actors who have basic singing skills and/or instrumental skills. The music piece of the audition is not about how well you sing or play, but how willing you are to celebrate life with music.
Please prepare:
One Shakespearean monologue up to 2 minutes in length. One song written before 1940 (a capella, self-accomanied, or CD player and mp3 hookup available) or instrumental piece on your own
