What to prepare and bring:

  • Song: Be prepared to perform 32 measures (no longer than 1 minute) of any song that highlights your voice. This should be a Broadway-type song. You preferably should sing with karaoke-type music (no vocals,) on your phone, iPod or CD or you may sing a-cappella. There will not be an accompanist.
  • Monologue: You should perform a monologue no longer than one minute that demonstrates your acting ability and range. (you may be cut off in your song and/or monologue as we have a lot of auditioners to hear.)

  • Audition Form. Please print out and bring a completed Audition Form found on our Database (ActingUpdb.com) Please make sure that all of your conflicts (After July 10 are listed. See rehearsal times and dates below)
  • Photo: Bring a recent photo that looks like you, that you do not need returned. No need at all for professional photos. It is merely to help the casting board recall who is who.

Show info: As the SS American heads out to sea, two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love…proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of musical theatre’s most memorable standards, including “I Get a Kick out of You,” “It’s Delovely,” and of course, “Anything Goes.”

This production is directed by Erin Russell and Joey Schnell. Music direction by Phil Clary and choreography by Karen Galliers.

Rehearsals will start July 10th and are expected to be Mon-Thurs. 6:30 pm-9 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm. The number of rehearsals that you will need to attend will depend on your role.

The performances are expected to be Sept. 22-24 at the Mason High School Theater.

The weird and wonderful family you remember from 1960’s TV, comes to devilishly delightful life in THE ADDAMS FAMILY. This magnificently macabre new musical comedy is created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Drama Desk Award winner Andrew Lippa.
It’s every Father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
