CURRENT AUDITIONS

We will be holding in-person auditions on the nights of Tuesday, February 25 and Thursday, February 27 from 7-10 pm with callbacks by invitation on Tuesday, March 4 from 6-10 pm. The auditions will be held 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 16-32 bar song selections. Songs should be in the style of the show and should contrast in either style or character. Songs can be from the show, but do not have to be. 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.

Auditioners are also asked to prepare either a short, humorous story about using the bathroom (can be fiction or autobiographical) told as a character OR a short comedic monologue. Whichever you choose, please keep it to less than a minute and a half.

If necessary, call backs will be via invitation on Tuesday, March 4. Call back 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 March 9. All conflicts must be listed on the audition form and no additional conflicts will be accepted once casting is complete. Conflicts during tech week or for a performance will not be accepted. Rehearsals will primarily be Sunday afternoons and Tuesday/Thursday evenings. A complete rehearsal schedule will be distributed at auditions. The show will run for 10 performances May 30-June 15. 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 full production schedule can be found HERE.

All roles are open and Footlighters strongly encourages all performers (ages 13+) to submit for ANY role with which they identify, regardless of type, gender, age, ability, race, ethnicity, sexuality, neurodiversity, body type, and similarity to the movie or broadway casts.
