Fresh off the sold out 2017 Gender Bender, comes the sequel! MCP is looking for a diverse group of performers from all over the Greater Cincinnati area. Join us for a rare opportunity to perform pieces like they’ve never been done before. This is your chance to perform a song, dance, or spoken word traditionally performed by another gender.
Where: Theater 42 – 2752 S US Route 42, Lebanon, OH 45036
When:
Sign up at http://signup.com/go/TcPngXc for an audition time.
We are also accepting video auditions. Please send your video to bonnie.emmer@gmail.com by Sunday, March 11th if you wish to be considered.
What to prepare:
Come ready to perform your selection. Please bring your accompaniment (tracks preferred). Please also bring a picture and resume. Please also dress for a brief choreography audition.
Guidelines:
Bring something not traditionally performed by your gender – dressing in drag is not required but you certainly may. If you are unsure what you would like to perform, please bring a selection that displays your singing and performance abilities and we will work with you to find a good fit.
Rehearsals:
Performers should expect 1-2 rehearsals per week (except tech week) and the rehearsal schedule will be built as much as possible around each performer’s conflicts between 3/18 – 5/12. Performers will be expected to rehearse at home with their tracks, which will allow for this flexible rehearsal timeline.
Performance:
One Night Only! May 12th @ 8pm at Theater 42
More details on the performance (and after party!) to come.

Based on the stories of real life music icons, The Supremes, James Brown, and others, DREAMGIRLS offers a behind-the-scenes look at the music industry of the 60s as it tells the story of R&B group, The Dreams. Starting out as a trio or singers and friends, Effie, Deena, and Lorrell are determined to make it big in the vibrant music landscape of the 1960s. But as the band’s success grows, their relationships deteriorate.
Featuring such songs as “Dreamgirls,” “And I’m Telling You,” and “One Night Only,” this Tony Award-winning musical was adapted into the 2006 motion picture starring Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, Edie Murphy, Danny Glover, and Anika Noni Rose.

Available Roles:
EFFIE MELODY WHITE: Female, 20-40ish, African American – powerful belt, large and in charge, lead singer of The Dreamettes. Journeys from snappy confidence to depths of betrayal, but triumphs in the end. Seeking actor with willingness to dig deep emotionally as well as belt.
DEENA JONES: Female, 18-40ish, African American – mezzo soprano, initially modest backup singer for Dreamettes. Replaces Effie, under pressure. And falls for Curtis, knowing Effie had him. The Diana Ross-esque character, so must move from innocent to “star.”
LORRELL ROBINSON: Female, 18-30ish, African American – soprano, the youngest backup singer. Speaks her mind. Eager for success, swept off her feet by married James Thunder Early. High energy and attitude encouraged for this role, with a touch of the romantic.
MICHELLE MORRIS: Female, 18-40ish, African American – soprano, replacement backup for Effie. Wants to stay out of in-fighting. Falls in love with C.C., and helps bring brother and sister together in the end.
CURTIS TAYLOR: Male, 25-45ish, African American – tenor/high baritone, a Cadillac dealer turned Dreams’ brilliant manager, then music mogul. Charming, smooth, and funny, he’s ruthless in the pursuit of his dreams. Dumps Effie and James in pursuit of glory.
C.C. WHITE: Male, 20-30, African American – tenor, talented song writer for the Dreamettes/Dreams and is Effie’s brother. Initially enthralled by Curtis’ business smarts.
JAMES “THUNDER” EARLY: Male, 30-50, African American – tenor/strong falsetto, a James Brown-like flashy star of early R&B that Curtis steals from Marty. A trendsetter, but trends pass him by. Be ready to be a showman, and let loose.
MARTY MADISON: Male, 40’s-60’s, African American – baritone, early manager of James Early, cleans up after many of James’ messes, old-school, honest and loyal.
Male Ensemble (Chorus / Ensemble): Male, 20-50
to play various characters, all vocal types, some require African American actors, some open to other ethnicities.
Female Ensemble (Chorus / Ensemble): Female, 20-40
to play various characters, all vocal types, some require African American actors, some open to other ethnicities.
