The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) will conclude virtual auditions for their LIVE, IN-PERSON production of *Shrek the Musical *on Wednesday, June 9 *!* Open roles include the title role of Shrek as well as various ensemble and featured soloist roles. Those interested in auditioning can email a video audition to millennialtheatrecompany@gmail.com, along with a list of potential conflicts, role(s) of interest, and their resume (if applicable). Videos should include a song of choice in the style of the show. Once the video has been received, cuts from the script will be sent. Videos must be sent by June 9 to be considered. MTC will perform the production August 13-15 at the Crestview Performing Arts Center in Columbiana. The show will be directed by Joe Asente with music direction by Savannah Florkowski and choreography by Aubrie Morrison. Rehearsals will take place weeknights from 6-9pm in Youngstown and Girard starting June 30th. All actors will need to supply proof of a completed COVID-19 vaccination to perform. Unvaccinated actors are welcome to audition but must agree to complete their vaccine regimen before starting rehearsals. Actors 16+ will be considered. MTC’s production of Shrek the Musical was originally scheduled to perform in March of 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. While most of the actors are returning to their roles, these auditions seek to fill the vacancies in the cast caused by the postponement from 2020. Shrek the Musical tells the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.The Millennial Theatre Company *• www.millennialtheatre.org <http://www.millennialtheatre.org>* "Creating Quality Theatrical Experiences With, For, and Of a Generation"
