Plays-in-the-Park’s 2016 summer season will hold auditions on April 8, 9 and 10 at the Stephen J. Capestro Theater, 1 Pine Drive (inside Roosevelt Park), Edison. Come prepared to perform approximately 16 bars of an up-tempo “show tune.” An accompanist will be provided. Bring your own sheet music in the proper key, marked with any cuts. At the open call, each actor sings their audition song for the creative staffs of all three shows, and then will be advised of any callbacks, which will be held the following week. If given a callback, actors will be asked to read and sing from the script/score and learn a dance combination, if appropriate.
The upcoming season features “The Little Mermaid,” “Sister Act” and “South Pacific.’ Open Call Auditions will be held at 7 p.m. April 8 and at noon April 9 and April 10. Callbacks will be held at 7 p.m. April 11 – Principals “The Little Mermaid”; 7 p.m. April 12 – Support “The Little Mermaid”; 7 p.m. April 13 – Principals “Sister Act”; 7 p.m. April 14 – Support “Sister Act”; 7 p.m. April 15 – Principals “South Pacific”; 10 a.m. April 16 – Support “South Pacific”; 1 p.m. April 16 – Female Ensemble and 4 p.m. April 16 – Male Ensemble.
