Auditions will be held at Xenia Area Community Theater on Monday 8/26 and Tuesday 8/27 from 7-10pm. Auditionees only need to attend one audition night. Taped submissions will also be accepted through Tuesday 8/27 at 7pm (any submissions received after the cutoff will not be considered). Please email DettyStudios@gmail.com for details on taped submissions.

Where:

What to prepare:
Auditionees are asked to prepare 16-32 bars of a song in the style of the show that showcases your voice and makes us laugh. An accompanist will be provided. Please bring sheet music in the appropriate key. Please no tracks. While the show has some movement, there will not be a dance call.

Who:
We are seeking 1-2 male identifying actors and 1-2 female identifying actors. BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ actors are strongly encouraged to attend. Because of the vignette nature of the show, we are looking for actors who will mesh well vs casting specific performance tracks. Scene assignments will be based on the cast. Must be 18+ to audition. All positions are volunteer.

Show details:
Performances will be two weekends in October, opening 10/18 and running through 10/27. Rehearsals will be weekday evenings beginning Wednesday 9/4. All rehearsals and performances will be at the theater.
