Event Details
Combined Auditions for Cabaret and Little Shop of Horrors
All actors will be paid a stipend.
CABARET INFORMATION
In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish.
Audition Dates: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, March 11, 12 and 13.
Callbacks: Saturday, March 15. A singing and reading round will be required at callbacks as well as a choreography round. There will be two rounds of dance callbacks-one general call and one for those being considered for Sally Bowles, Emcee and the Kit Kat Club.
Audition Format: Please prepare 2 songs (16-32 bars) of music-contrasting styles. Please bring sheet music or tracks. If you decide to sing with a backing track, we suggest you bring a speaker to play it on.
