[NEohioPAL] Canal Fulton Players- Auditions Sound of Music April 4-5

[DVangaasbe at aol.com]

A year ago the Canal Fulton  Players pushed themselves to the limits to 
bring the musical “ANNIE” to life on  our stage. This year we’ve done it again 
by taking on one of greatest and most  well known stories in movie and 
musical theatre history, “THE SOUND OF MUSIC”!!!  No small feat for such a 
young theatre, but with the support of our audiences  and fans, a production 
such as this is the perfect challenge for us, and we aim  to d...eliver a 
performance  worthy of their patronage.
We have a director, producer, stage manager,  musical director, 
choreographer, crew, musicians, and techs but NO CAST!!!  Fortunately, that is where 
you come in facebook friends! Open auditions will be  held on April 4th & 5th, 
7-9p.m. call backs (if necessary) on the 6th and  castings will be done on 
the 7th with the first rehearsal starting on the 11th!  We are inviting all 
of you and anyone you know who might be interested to come  on out and try 
for a part! All are welcome, from those gunning for a lead, to  those who 
just want to be a part of the ensemble!
Those who are interested  will be asked to sing a song that shows off their 
vocal strengths and range.  Auditioners will have the option of performing 
with a pianist or CD; words do  not need to be memorized. Also, there will 
be a reading from excerpts of the  script for both individual and group 
scenes where the director will assign  various parts to view the actors ability, 
range, and chemistry with other  performers.
The cast list is rather vast so there is ample opportunity to get  the part 
you want! We are anticipating an intense competition for the covetous  role 
of Maria, so to all the leading ladies out there, be sure to bring your “A”
  game! No experience needed, and the only factors that might hinder those  
qualified from being cast in their desired role would conflicts with the  
rehearsal schedule (only a 45 day schedule: equivalent to a month & a half)  
or obviously performance dates, which are June 23rd-26th.
