Auditions for the Summer 2010 Musicals

Auditions for the three 2010 summer musicals at The Weekend Theater approach!

The three musicals are:

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
Director, Jamie Scott Blakey;
Music Director, Lori Isner

HAIR
Director, Byron Taylor;
Music Director, Lori Isner

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Director, Andy Hall;
Music Director, Steve Whaley

Auditions will be held on Saturday, March 20th at 10 a.m. and again on Sunday, March 21st at 5 p.m. You only have to attend one of the times. During the auditions, first everyone will sing a song that they prepare. Then we will have readings from the scripts. The scripts will not be available before the auditions. Please be aware that since there is nudity in HAIR, only people 18 years of age and older will be cast in that show.

Rehearsal and performance schedules are as follows:

SHOW REHEARSALS PERFORMANCES
J.C. SUPERSTAR May 8-June 3 June 4-27
HAIR June 5-July 8 July 9-August 1
SPELLING BEE July 17-August 18 August 19-29



All shows will perform on Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:30 p.m. The first two shows will have four week runs. It is possible that we will be adding a fifth week to HAIR. It is also possible that we will add Thursday night performances if the shows sell very well. The third show will run two weeks, with scheduled shows on Thursdays at 7:30 as well as the regular weekend performances.

If you cannot attend all dress rehearsals, brush-ups, and performances, please respect your fellow actors and tell us, so you will not be cast.

If you are interested in auditioning, please just show up at The Weekend Theater at 7th and Chester streets in Little Rock at 10 a.m. On Saturday morning, March 20th or Sunday evening, March 21st at 5 p.m. Bring some sheet music to sing us a song. Our resident music director, Lori Isner, will be present to accompany you as you sing. Also, the music director of SPELLING BEE, Steve Whaley, will be available as well. If you do not have a song to bring, just sing happy birthday for us! You do not have to a practiced singer! Auditions for musicals can last up to 4 or even 5 hours, so please bring lots of time and patience with you! ;-)

* JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR will cast those 16 and above only.

* HAIR and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will cast those 18 years and above only.

* The nudity in HAIR is voluntary and we will show no frontal nudity, as the liquor laws forbid it in our theater.

* The director of HAIR asked me to request that you do not cut your hair.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Ralph Hyman at ralphhyman@yahoo.com and he will forward your questions to the appropriate director.
