<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Near West Theatre is looking for experienced
<b>MALE</b> singers, preferably section leaders in choral singing to build a CHOIR for their upcoming expansive production of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, THE MUSICAL. This show is demandingly vocal and calls for the company to include a
<b>CHOIR</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">We have been fortunate enough to gather a strong female choir and we’re hoping to expand the male section more to create the sound that is needed for the production!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Our idea is to form this primarily vocal group, the CHOIR, and
<b>rehearse the CHOIR once a week</b> starting this month. Then, beginning the week of April 22, the CHOIR will be folded into the regular rehearsal schedule, join with the cast and be staged into the production. >From April 22<sup>nd
</sup>on, the rehearsal schedule will be 3 to 4 times a week, Sundays through Wednesdays (Thursday, too, during Tech Week).</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
