BPI is seeking versatile, comedic actors. Plan to do cold readings from the script. For those auditioning for Tito and/or Max, prepare to do some singing exercises; actors may prepare an operatic aria to be sung a cappella at the audition, but this is not required. This is not a musical, but it does include some singing by a few of the actors.
Headshot and resume are ideal but are not required. All roles are open. Performance dates are May 9 – 17, 2014. Visit www.beechmontplayers.org for more information.
