This high-energy show follows the lives of thirteen 13 year olds as they
navigate their way through friendships, love, popularity, honesty, and
growing-up. This was the first show in Broadway history to have an entirely
teenage cast and orchestra. The score is filed with fantastic pop/rock
music! If you want to check on info on the show itself, you can go here:

We are looking for 13 of Cleveland's most talented teenage performers (7
boys, 6 girls) to create the Ohio premiere cast. Please note: All performers
should be able to realistically play 13 years of age. Not sure that this
fits you? Come audition anyway!! Don't count yourself out! Also, please know
that we will be double-casting some of the roles.

call the Fairmount Center (440-338-3171) to schedule your time slot.

** Please prepare 32-bars of an uptempo pop/rock song that shows range (this
does not have to be from a musical). Provide sheet music in the correct key.

dance.

callbacks on Nov. 15th from 3:00-6:00pm, but this is not solidified yet.
