To round out the cast we are looking for 4 to 8 sopranos, mezzo sopranos, and altos as well as drag performers with a baritenor range. Persons of all age ranges and ethnicities are invited and encouraged to audition.
Preparation: Please bring 32 bars of a musical theatre piece that shows off your voice! Please bring sheet music for the accompanist or a track (Bluetooth speaker is available). A capella singing is also welcomed.
All auditionees are encouraged to bring a non-returnable headshot and resume. Audition forms are linked on the ECP website and you are encouraged to fill them out ahead of time. Copies will be available onsite. Should an auditionee not have a headshot, we will take a photo during auditions for the directors’ reference.
Anticipated Rehearsal Schedule: Rehearsals may begin as early as August 2 and will primarily be on weeknights, with the exception of Wednesdays, until TECH WEEK, which begins September 25. Scheduling will take into account unavoidable conflicts of cast members.
