WHEN:
March 16h and callbacks on March 17th both at 12:30
Please arrive on time as a dance combination will be taught to everyone at the same time to begin auditions. You may be asked to stay after the vocal audition to work with other performers. (we expect a substantial turnout)
WHERE:
A Common Ground
33 Crosby Street
Danbury, CT 06810
WHAT TO PREPARE:
Bring a headshot and resume. Photos of any kind are fine if you do not have a headshot.
While this is atypical for my auditions, I will be asking performers to sing ONLY pieces from the show. A list of song choices is provided below. Additional duos may be added for callbacks.
Dress comfortably so you are able to move. There is no need to change for the vocal audition.
WE WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE LOOKING TO FOLLOW RACIAL CASTING OF THE ORIGINAL BROADWAY PRODUCTION.
Most importantly, I am looking to cast performers who are willing to consistently bring the energy, passion and LOVE that are essential to maximizing the potential of this remarkable piece.

The foster mom is on her way there again, this time with chicken, and Laura is on her way with hamburger. Problem is, this dog is VERY shy, skittish and quick to run away.
