We are looking for a diverse cast so all are invited and encouraged to attend our auditions.

AUDITION RESOURCES

The songs and monologues listed on THIS PAGE should be used during the audition. In order to access the resources page, you need to register first and you will be sent the resource page password by email.

You may pick any two of the songs to use in your audition, although ideally you will want to choose songs that you would like to be featured in if you are chosen for the cast. Each song is provided in .mp3 format and sheet music .pdf format (the vocal section from the libretto of that show).

Songs range from 1 minute to almost 2 minutes, but the total of your two selections should be close to 3 minutes. If you run over and we are facing audition time constraints, we reserve the right to end your second song early.

You may read a monologue as written if you wish, but we encourage you to enhance (or replace entirely) the provided monologues with your own words. You can make the revised monologues as serious or comedic as you wish. Obviously some songs may call for more humor in the introduction than others (i.e., Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins vs. Empty Chairs At Empty Tables from Les Miserables)

CALLBACK INFORMATION

There are no callbacks planned for this audition. We intend to make our choices based on the initial auditions. We are casting for inclusivity although we obviously have limits on how many performers we can include.

REHEARSAL INFORMATION (PRELIMINARY)

Rehearsals will begin on Monday, October 11, 2021. A detailed schedule will be available as soon as casting decisions are announced. Rehearsals generally will be conducted on Monday-Wednesday evenings and Saturday-Sunday mornings. There will be no rehearsals for the cast on Monday-Friday during the day, on Friday-Saturday-Sunday evenings or Saturday-Sunday afternoons until tech week starts on Monday, November 8, 2021.

COMPENSATION AND CONTRACTUAL INFORMATION

All actors will be required to sign the standard Landmark Musical Theatre Performer's Agreement, which includes rehearsal and performance expectations, rules of conduct and compensation.

Normally, Landmark now pays all performers and staff in accordance with California AB/5 for its regular productions. Because this production is meant to be a benefit for the theatre, all performers are being asked to participate as unpaid volunteers and will receive no base compensation for rehearsals or performances. However, all performers and staff WILL share a pro-rata (based on number of performances) portion of a twenty-five percent (25%) pool of the donations received during the performances.

With our apologies, this production is not available for members of Actors Equity.
