Auditions Announced for WITCHCRAFT at Cincinnati Music Theatre

Cy Coleman penned songs such as “Witchcraft” and “The Best Is Yet to Come” (signature tunes for Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, respectively) and wrote such musicals as Sweet Charity, I Love My Wife, On the Twentieth Century, and The Will Rogers Follies – yet a revue of his music has gone entirely unexplored until now.

WITCHCRAFT explores his music from his time as a hot jazz pianist and early television celebrity in the 1950s, and his life as one of Broadway’s preeminent composers.

Looking for 4 male presenting & 6 female presenting ACTORS WHO SING WELL

Choose a 45- 60 second jazz standard or musical theatre tune (prior to 1990 preferred) that highlights your best performance.

An accompanist will be provided.

  • October 12, 2025 from 2:00pm – 5:00pm
  • October 15, 2025 from 6:30pm – 9:00pm

The Passing of Dylan McGill

From DignityMemorial.com

He was born on February 10, 1988, and raised in Franklin, Ohio. Dylan earned his BFA in Musical Theatre from the Boston Conservatory and went on to live in Boston, Chicago, and Corpus Christi, Texas, before eventually returning to his hometown.

Dylan truly exemplified everything fun, vibrant, and joyful. He was considered a best friend by many and a bright light in every space he entered.

To his family, friends, and colleagues, Dylan was a gift. He lived life to the fullest, but it was the theatre that truly captured his heart. His passion for storytelling, performance, and community was a defining part of who he was.

A celebration of Dylan’s life will be held on Sunday, September 14, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Anderson Funeral Home in Franklin, Ohio. In honor of his love for the stage, we invite guests to join us as we remember Dylan in the spirit he lived: with heart, creativity, and an open curtain.

All friends and family are welcome.
