AUDITIONS:
Auditions for Singin' in the Rain
January 12 & 13
You remember the plot. You love the characters. You know "the song." It's no less than the stage adaptation of one of the most celebrated and beloved films of all time. 1920's Hollywood is the setting for this zany, light-hearted romantic comedy about the early days of sound film, when many a movie studio found itself scrambling to salvage the career of its chipmunk-voiced silent picture star.
The MGM classic has been faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green from their original award-winning screenplay. Each unforgettable scene, song and dance, is accounted for, including the show stopping title number, complete with an onstage rainstorm! Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue, and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make “Singin’ in the Rain” the perfect entertainment for any fan of the golden age of movie musicals.
The production team is looking to cast the musical and will hold auditions on Thursday, January 12 and Friday, January 13 at 6:30 p.m. at Walters State Community College located at 500 S. Davy Crockett Parkway in Morristown.
Each person wishing to audition should prepare a song (preferably musical theatre style). Please bring a copy of the sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. Everyone auditioning will take part in a brief dance and movement audition. Please have comfortable clothes to move in. Some will also be asked to read scenes from the musical. No appointment is necessary and those auditioning will be seen in order they sign up at the audition.
The cast consists of 2 Lead Males, 2 Lead Females, 6 Featured Males, 4 Featured Females, 2 Young Boys ages 9-12, and an ensemble of dancers and singers.
“Singin’ in the Rain” is scheduled to begin rehearsals late January with performances scheduled for March 9-25.

Singin' in the Rain – January 12 & 13
Are you interested in performing onstage?
Audition notices are usually posted 2-3 weeks
before each audition detailing the specific
needs of each production, including number of
cast members, age ranges, and audition
requirements.
Typically, each audition will consist of cold
readings from the script. Sometimes, the
production team may pair people together, and
sometimes you may read with the production team.
For musicals, each person auditioning is asked
to bring a musical theatre selection (in
appropriate key) with sheet music for the
accompanist. Depending on the show, a dance
audition is sometimes in order.
Always remember
that if you have an interest in auditioning, You
SHOULD! Don’t be discouraged or talk yourself
out of it. Auditioning is always a good
experience, and it’s also another chance to
perform! You never know who the production team
is looking for to fill a specific role! It could
be YOU!
