MADISON, OH - Audition appointments are now being taken for two

“Urinetown, the Musical” is a musical comedy with music by Mark Hollman and
music and lyrics by Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis.  The production runs from

musical direction by Alex Ulle and choreography by Sarah Gordon.  The show

up.

Auditions for “Urinetown the Musical” are Saturday, Mar. 14, from 6 to 10
p.m. and Sunday, Mar. 15 from 2 to 5 p.m.

“Urinetown, the Musical” is a comedic satire of populism, bureaucracy,
politics and musical theater itself.  In a Gotham-like city, a terrible
water shortage has led to a ban on private toilets.  A hero emerges and
leads them all to freedom



The second production for the summer, “Stepping Out”, is a rollicking
comedy about the attempts of some working class amateurs to overcome their
inhibitions and left feet in a dance studio in North London.  Coupled with
dramas all along the way, this motley group must be whipped into shape for
their recital.



“Stepping Out” is written by Richard Harris and will be directed by Ann
Hedger.   Production dates are June 19 through July 3, and the show is
rated for general audiences.



There are roles available for actors ages 18 and up.  Auditions are
Saturday, Mar. 14, 6 to 8 p.m. and Sunday, Mar. 15, from 1 to 3 p.m.



Actors auditioning for a “Urinetown, the Musical” should prepare to sing 32
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.



Actors auditioning for “Stepping Out” do not need to prepare a monologue as
actors will read sides from the script.  Actors should dress business
casual (jeans are acceptable, no sweatpants).



Auditions for “Stepping Out” are at Rabbit Run Community Arts Association,
