Audition and workshop notice
for actors, singers, dancers!

In preparation for the world premiere of "Tuning In," a nostalgic new  
musical, The University of Akron is hosting a musical-theatre  
workshop, auditions and public reading in July with acclaimed  
directors George Pinney and Terry LaBolt.

Open to actors, singers, and dancers from the campus and community,  
auditions for the free musical-theatre workshop are July 9 from 1 to  
4 p.m. The workshop runs July 10-13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the  
public reading is July 14 at 2 p.m. All of the events will be in 194  
Guzzetta Hall, 139 Buchtel Ave., on the UA campus.

The free workshop is a pre-audition for roles to be cast this fall  
for the September 2013 world premiere of "Tuning In" at E.J. Thomas  
Hall at UA. Set at a nostalgia radio station in a retirement village  
in southern Ohio, "Tuning In" will feature 25 new songs, 26  
performers, singing and dancing, and a pit orchestra reminiscent of  
Broadway musicals of the past.

“Tuning In” roles are available for men and women, ages 18 and up,  
including older adults.

To register for the July auditions and free musical-theatre workshop,  
contact 330-972-7590, 330-972-7948, or concerts at uakron.edu. For the  
workshop audition on July 9, bring a photo and resume and prepare 16  
to 32 measures, preferably from the American songbook of tunes from  
the 1930s and 1940s.

George Pinney was nominated for a 2001 Tony Award and National  
Broadway Theatre Award in choreography, and received an Emmy Award  
for outstanding choreography for the PBS broadcast of "Blast!"  Terry  
LaBolt’s career as a Broadway conductor includes "42nd Street,"  
"Hello, Dolly!" (with Carol Channing), "George M." (with Joel Grey),  
and "Sugar Babies" (with Ann Miller and Mickey Rooney).
