[NEohioPAL] 8 Days until GYPSY Auditions! {Beck summer show features great adult and kid roles, including non-singing tracks}

[Scott Spence]

 Beck Center in Lakewood is thrilled to announce open call auditions for
our Summer 2018 production of.....

                                                 *  GYPSY*
                                * Book by Arthur Laurents*
*                                       Music by Jule Stein*
*                               Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim*

Considered by many to be THE gold standard of American Musical Theatre,
*GYPSY* spins the tale of a time where the death of Vaudeville was
imminent, and its much more lascivious cousin Burlesque was poised to take
the reins. Mama Rose is determined to vicariously live the star-branded
life she never had through daughters June and Louise as they go from town
to town searching for their big breaks. Once it finally happens for Louise
(having adopted the stripper persona of Gypsy Rose Lee) Rose's life begins
to crumble as she comes to terms with the answer to 'Who was it all for?'

Director Scott Spence, Musical Director Larry Goodpaster and Choreographer
Martin Cespedes are seeking a diverse company of actors, singers and
dancers to give light to this masterpiece of Musical Theatre.

*Open Call Auditions will occur at the following times, and appointments
can be made by calling the Beck Center Box Office at 216-521-2540 x10

process, which will be the weekend of Feb. 24/25, times TBD.*
