FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2, 2022 MTC to Hold Auditions for Singers and Dancers for Grease the Musical At The Youngstown Playhouse! Youngstown, Ohio- The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) is holding auditions for Grease the Musical, in collaboration with The Youngstown Playhouse. Auditions will be held at The Youngstown Playhouse (600 Playhouse Lane, Youngstown, Ohio 44511) on May 12 from 6-9pm, May 13 from 6-9pm, and May 14 from 12-3pm. Rehearsals are projected to begin on May 23. All performers must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by the first day of rehearsals. Those who have received their two-dose vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer) more than six months ago will be required to get a booster shot. Those who have received their one dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson) will be required to receive a second dose. Proof of vaccination will be required before the first rehearsal. *Grease the Musical* performs July 29-31 and August 5-7 at The Youngstown Playhouse with rehearsals running Monday-Friday from 6-9pm. Directed by Joe Asente, with music direction by Anthony Ruggiero and choreography by Aubrie Morrison. Auditioners (ages 16+) should prepare a 30-60 second cut of a song in the style of the show. An accompanist will be provided. There will also be a cold read from the script. Please come dressed comfortably and prepared to learn a short dance combination. Dancers interested in non-singing roles are also welcome, and will only be asked to complete the dance portion of the audition (no reading or singing necessary). All roles are open. Non-union, unpaid. Grease the Musical tells the story of Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby-sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through all the hit songs that have become the soundtrack of a generation! ####### About the Millennial Theatre Company The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) is a 501c3 non-profit theatre company committed to producing theatrical experiences that reflect the interests and experiences of the Millennial Generation.
