(This show is still in the process of being developed and edited)

Audition Information:
You can audition with any prepared monologue and 16 bars of song using a phone track. IF you do not have anything prepared, we'll have cold readings for you to read.

If you cannot make in-person auditions, you can send a video submission to [email protected] along with your headshot/resume attached as a PDF file.
*Video audition submission will be accepted until September 19th. Send submission to [email protected].

Workshop Process:
Being a new musical, each scene needs to be “workshopped” to allow the entire production team to develop the unique look and feel of the show. The writers will also be tweaking the dialogue. Actors cast for this process will be encouraged to develop their characters to help the production team visualize the scenes. The current schedule will be October/November 2024 with approximately 8-12 meetings.
Eight (8) principal actors will be needed and compensated $150 each for their time.

Full Production: June 6-8, 2025
This audition is also part of the process to cast the entirety of the show for full production in 2025. If a full casting of the show does not come from the 2024 auditions, another audition round will be held in January 2025. All actors cast in the full production will receive compensation which is based on role and % of ticket sales.

Auditioning Veterans: If you do not have previous acting experience, please do not let that keep you from auditioning. We have performance arts training available for Veterans interested in on-stage performance!

Volunteers:
We are also seeking volunteers (Veteran or non-Veteran) who would like to help in the production of this local, original musical. Off-stage opportunities include back stage work, set building/painting, costumes, and props. No experience necessary! Volunteers will be needed in 2025. If you are interested in being involved offstage email [email protected]

If you’ve listened to any 90s rock then you’ve undoubtedly heard some of Steve’s work. He looked at recording as a science and as art and understood that producing was an enabler for bands not a leach. RIP sir!

Rest in peace, Steve Albini 1962-2024, a pioneer of rock music production and a frontman for multiple bands. Producer for artists like Nirvana, Manic Street ...
