FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Auditions for Rabbit Run Theater's 2018 Summer
Season

 

Audition appointments are now being taken for the 2018 summer season at
Rabbit Run Theater in Madison, Ohio. 

 

The productions for the summer are "Harvey", "My Fair Lady", "Evita" and
"Vincent" as well as a youth production of "Seussical".


Auditions run two weekends, Mar. 3 and 4 for the youth production
"Seussical" and Mar. 24 and Mar. 25 for "Harvey", "My Fair Lady" and
"Evita".  "Vincent" has been precast.

 

Rabbit Run's youth production of "Seussical", with book by
<https://www.mtishows.com/people/lynn-ahrens> Lynn Ahrens and
<https://www.mtishows.com/people/stephen-flaherty> Stephen Flaherty, music
by  <https://www.mtishows.com/people/stephen-flaherty> Stephen Flaherty and
lyrics by  <https://www.mtishows.com/people/lynn-ahrens> Lynn Ahrens, is
based on the works of Dr. Seuss.  "Seussical" opens July 20 and runs through
July 28.  

 

The show is directed by Paige Heidrich with musical direction by Dorene
Dundas, and choreography by Hannah Green.     

 

Dr. Seuss' best-loved characters come together in this musical saga suitable
for all ages.  

 

Multiple lead, supporting, and ensemble roles are available for all genders
for youth ages 7 to 19. 

Auditions for "Seussical" are Saturday, Mar. 3, from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. and
Sunday, Mar. 4, from 1:30 to 5 p.m.  

 

Actors auditioning should prepare to sing 16 measures of a Broadway-style
song from memory. Please bring sheet music for the accompanist in a binder.
No pre-recorded accompaniment or CD tracks. No monologue need be prepared as
actors will read sides from the script.  Actors should dress business casual
(jeans are acceptable, no sweatpants). 

 

"Harvey" a comedy by Mary Chase, runs from June 1 through June 16.  The
production is directed by Ann Hedger.  There are nine roles available for
men, ages 18 to 60, and five roles available for women, ages 17 to 55.  

 

When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his invisible friend, Harvey, a
six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to party guests, his sister, Veta, has seen as
much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate.  The tables get turned,
however, when she tries to commit him to a sanitarium.  

 

Auditions for "Harvey" are Saturday, Mar. 24, from 1 to 4 p.m.  Actors will
read from the script and do not need to prepare a monologue. 

 

"My Fair Lady" is the 1956 Broadway hit musical with music by Frederick
Loewe and book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner.  The unrefined cockney flower
girl Eliza Doolittle is transformed into a high-society lady through the
tutelage of linguist Professor Henry Higgins.  Eliza has a mind of her own,
however, and things don't go quite as planned. 

Show dates are June 22 through July 14.  The show is directed by Brint
Learned with musical direction by Danielle Jones and choreography by Heather
Felden.

 

"Evita", with music and lyrics by Time Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd
Webber, runs Aug. 3 through Aug. 18.  The show is directed by Brint Learned
with musical direction by Dave Coxe and choreography by Jill Tschetter.

 

"Evita" follows Eva Duarte on her journey from a poor illegitimate child in
mid-20th century Argentina to her meteoric rise to sainthood as Eva Peron,
the most powerful woman in Latin America.  This Tony Award-winning show is
one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's most recognizable musicals.

Auditions for "My Fair Lady and" and "Evita" are 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday,
Mar.24, and 1:30 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Mar. 25.  Multiple roles are available
in both musicals for men and women ages high school and up.

 

Actors auditioning for the musicals should be prepared to sing 16 measures
of a Broadway-style song.  Please bring sheet music for accompaniment; no
pre-recorded accompaniment.  Dress comfortably for movement.
