CURRENT AUDITIONS

We will be holding initial in-person auditions on Saturday, December 7 from 1-4 pm and Tuesday, December 10 from 7-10 pm. Auditions are at Footlighters Theater - 58 Main Ave, Berwyn, PA 19312. To sign up please send an email to footlightersauditions@gmail.com with your preferred time slot, what role(s) you are submitting for, and a copy of your headshot/resume if you have one

All auditioners are asked to prepare two contrasting 16-32 bar song selections in the style of the show. Songs from the show are welcome for one of the selections. All songs should be memorized and you must provide music for the accompanist, even if singing from the show. Please make sure your music is clearly marked and contained in a three-ring binder. 

We would also like all auditioners to tell us a short story (under 1 minute) about redemption, hope, or self-acceptance. Auditioners may prepare a one minute monologue in lieu of telling a story. 

If necessary, call backs will be via invitation on Friday, December 13 from 6-10 pm. Callback materials will be sent with your invitation and may include song and scene selections from the show. You should also be prepared to do cold readings, a dance call, and learn additional musical material from the show. 

 Rehearsals will be held three times per week starting Sunday, January 5. All conflicts must be listed on the audition form and no additional conflicts will be accepted once casting is complete. Conflicts during sitzprobe, tech week, or for a performance will not be accepted. Rehearsals will primarily be Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday evenings. A complete rehearsal schedule will be distributed at auditions. The show will run for seven performances April 4-13. Additional

performances or partner events such as meet and greets with the cast may be added. Rehearsals and performances will be at Footlighters Theater - 58 Main Ave, Berwyn, PA. A tentative, full production schedule can be found HERE.
