Auditions will be held on January 14th and 15th
Audition Location : Assembly Theatre – 26 East Ave, Harrisville, RI

Preparation
Please prepare and memorize a two minute cut from a song. The song should be in a contemporary musical theatre or rock style and not from the show. Prepare to bring a track for your song. No accompaniment will be present and a cappella is not preferred.
If you have an actor’s resume/headshot, please bring a copy (letter paper suffices). Reference photos may be taken if a headshot is not provided. Be prepared for cold readings from the script. If callbacks are needed, they will be held on Tuesday, January 16th at 6pm at the Assembly Theatre.
If you are unable to make the auditions, please submit a video audition to catehackett@gmail.com by January 15th including a reading along with your musical singing. Please inquire at the above email for any further questions.
