book of interviews with American workers

of the workers that the world so often takes for granted: the

No Equity contracts are available for this show. Invited callbacks, if
necessary, may be scheduled. Rehearsals will begin the week of January 7,
2024. The show runs February 23 – March 3, 2024.
The show contains mature themes and language. Please be familiar with the
material before auditioning.
The show will be directed and music directed by Ryan Bergeron.
Those auditioning should:
- Plan to attend only one day of auditions.
- Be familiar with the show and its music, language, and themes.
- Prepare two one-minute, contrasting songs (one up-tempo, one ballad)
in the style of the show (contemporary musical theater).
- Bring sheet music in the correct keys, hole-punched in a three-ring
binder. Singers will not be permitted to sing a cappella.
- Featured roles exist for actors who do not consider themselves
singers, however all cast members will sing in ensemble numbers and all
performers should be comfortable doing so.* If you wish to be considered
for one of these roles, you may prepare one short (1-minute) song of your
choosing and plan to read from the script at auditions.*
- Bring a list of conflicts between January 7 – March 3, 2024.
