Judy Garland as Dorothy Look-Alike/Singer Needed for Fundraiser Gig

Wizard Of Oz, The (1939) | Pers: Judy Garland | Dir: Victor Fleming | Ref: WIZ001FT | Photo Credit: [ MGM / The Kobal Collection ] | Editorial use only related to cinema, television and personalities. Not for cover use, advertising or fictional works without specific prior agreement

Lookalike/Singer role for Judy Garland as Dorothy.

This is paid position for a one-evening foundation fundraising event on Saturday, Oct. 10th.

Looking for one female [late teens~30] who would dress as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz and be able to competently sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” to track. Preference is for someone who is young, pretty, long dark or auburn hair, comparable Judy Garland stature, and can sing quite well. Vocally I’m okay with contralto through soprano, but it’s important that you sing well.

If you are unsure of Judy’s look as Dorothy, please do an image search of “Judy Garland Dorothy.”

This event is in the evening but we will need you that afternoon for some rehearsal and run-throughs, for costume fitting and a brief audition that will be arranged with a few candidates prior to choosing. We also expect this person to mingle with the guests after her brief performance and to have photos taken with them if they desire. This is a paid position of at least $300.

Apply via email to AvatarProduction@aol.com.

Apply via email with head shots, full body shots, resume, costume sizings, and if possible, a few measures of the “Rainbow” song or another song so we can get an idea of your vocal capability.

We’re looking for someone to fill this role immediately, so applications should be made soon.

Thank you for your interest.

Actors Needed for Staged Reading at Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative

CPI_logoI am directing Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative’s next New Voices Staged Reading, KNIGHT ERRANT.  It will be performed one night only, October 13, 2015 at the Fifth Third Bank Theater at the Aronoff Center for the Arts.  This is quite a nice opportunity, especially for young actors.

I need two young males to play approximately sixteen years old and one adult women to play roughly 28-40 years old. KNIGHT ERRANT is a story which takes place entirely in the offices of two school counselors, so will require no blocking, only reading from the script.

The first young male is in every scene of the play.  The other young male is in one scene and will be understudy for the main role.  The female counselor role will be in two scenes.

The second young male and the female will only be needed for one rehearsal plus the table read and performance day, so if you are in another show at this time, we can work around it as long as you can be available on Oct. 13.

The lead male will be needed for three rehearsals and performance day.  Again, we can work around other schedules.

The reading will be on Tuesday October 13, 2015 at 7:30.  I would need you to be available starting at  4 PM that Tuesday.

I will be available to have a table read/auditions on September 29, 30 and October 1.

The other possible rehearsal dates would be between now and then, and since the play has the various characters mostly in separate scenes, it will be quite easy to accommodate everyone’s schedule in the event that we can’t always gather on the same day/night.

If you are interested in participating, please email me at prez@cincyplaywrights.org and I will send you a script.

Thanks!

Chris Lee,
President
Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative
