The Lebanon Theatre Company has announced dates for auditions for their upcoming production of the classic musical MAN OF LA MANCHA. The auditions will be held at 7 p.m. on Mon., Mar. 16 and Tues., Mar. 17 at the Mechanic Street Playhouse, 10 S. Mechanic Street, Lebanon, Ohio.
The show’s director, Steven Haines, asks that those auditioning simply prepare a song from the standard musical theatre repertoire (1950’s through 1980’s). The song does not need to be memorized, and an accompanist will be provided at the audition. Other songs may be workshopped at the auditions, and scripts for coached scene readings will be available. Those auditioning must be at least 18 years of age and are welcome to come to both of the audition sessions.
Haines is looking to cast an ensemble of 15-18 singing actors who will play the 6 principal characters and the 10+ secondary characters that populate the musical. The actual production will open on May 8 for a two weekend run of 6 performances.
MAN OF LA MANCHA is a multiple Tony Award-winning musical that vividly imagines the later life of the great Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes as he awaits his trial in a dungeon at the height of the Spanish Inquisition. The musical moves seamlessly between the prison and Cervantes’ own outsized imagination, where his noble idealism finds expression in his greatest literary creation, Don Quixote. MAN OF LA MANCHA, with a heartfelt score that includes the worldwide hit The Impossible Dream, is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
