<p class="MsoNormal">The Millennial Theatre Project at the Akron Civic Theatre is looking for a Musical Director for its upcoming production of The Rocky Horror Show.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Overview:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#1D2129">The Akron Civic Theatre’s Millennial Theatre Project bridges the gap between youth and adult community theater. We strive for non-traditional casting of actors, actresses, and production
staff 18-35 years old. We are looking for a musical director with strong communication and organizational skills, be able to work collaboratively with the director, cast and band, on top of the expected musical expertise. The Rocky Horror Show will be performed
August 17-18<sup>th</sup> as part of the LGBT Akron Arts Festival. Rehearsal starting the week of June 26<sup>th</sup>. Depending on schedule conflicts, ideally we will have three to four rehearsals a week in in the evenings and some weekend afternoons.

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The music director is responsible for working with the director in preparing the theatre production for public performance, including rehearsing the cast and band, and conducting
(and selecting if needed) the band.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The music director works with singers in partnership with the director, rehearsing the cast and band together, and serving as conductor for all performances.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">It is essential that the production's director and musical director have an ongoing and mutually supportive collaboration. The director communicates his or her vision of the show,
and the music director uses their understanding of the show's musical demands to help the director (and cast) be successful. The musical director works with the director in scheduling rehearsals, which cast members need to be there, and what the directors
expect to accomplish at each rehearsal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
