[NEohioPAL]Choreographer Joins Hiram College Music Man Team

[Rebecca Summers]

AUDITIONS THIS WEEKEND!
 
The Hiram College Department of Music will sponsor a
community production of Meredith Willson’s musical
theatre classic, “The Music Man,” in Hiram’s Hayden
Auditorium July 13-15, 2007.  Auditions will be held
in the Frohring Music Building on the Hiram Campus on
Saturday, May 19 (2pm – 5pm, 7pm – 9pm) and Sunday,
May 20 (2pm – 5pm).  This will be a college/community
production (no professional or Equity contracts
available), and ALL ARE INVITED TO AUDITION,
regardless of talent level.  All roles are available. 
We particularly encourage regional Hiram alumni to
audition.
 
We are also seeking Dancers for several important
“dance breaks” in the show, including a “dream ballet”
and the popular “Marian the Librarian” number.   

This production will be directed by James Lucas (Hiram
Class of ’51) of New York City, an
internationally-known opera and musical theatre stage
director.  Music direction is by Damaris Peters Pike,
and a professional-quality orchestra will be directed
by Paul Dreisbach. Rebecca Summers has joined the team
as the choreographer. 
 
Auditioners are encouraged to prepare an “up-tempo”
song of your choice, preferably from the
Broadway/musical theatre repertoire.  You may also
sing or sight-read from the show score, which will be
provided.  Accompanist also provided.  We will do cold
readings from the script for speaking roles.
 
This heartwarming musical has several principal roles,
and many minor “character” and chorus roles for
townspeople of all ages!  Boys and girls ages 11 to 14
are particularly encouraged to audition for two
speaking/singing roles (doubling may occur).
 
To schedule an audition time, please call
330-569-5294.  (Walk-ins without a scheduled audition
time are welcomed, but will only be accommodated
during a break in the schedule.)
 
We are also seeking volunteers to serve in a variety
of non-performing functions, assisting with set
construction, costuming, scene-shifting, box office,
theatre ushers, and others.  To volunteer, or for more
information about this production, please call
co-producer Don Bernardo at 330-569-5280 or e-mail bernardode at hiram.edu.
