Un-Common Announces Auditions for Students in Grade 10 through Age 21 for The Young Adult Company Summer Production of the Broadway Musical American Idiot
The Un-Common Theatre Co. is thrilled to announce auditions for the Tony Award winning Broadway musical “American Idiot”. Un-Common has been chosen as one of the first theatre companies in the country to present this politically-charged rock opera. Auditions will be held on Sunday, May 18th with performances on July 17-20, 2014, at the Orpheum Theatre, Foxboro, MA.
Based on Green Day's Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, “American Idiot” chronicles the exhilarating journey of a new generation of young Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. Johnny, Will, and Tunny, childhood friends, long to escape their unhappy, media-saturated suburban lives, but pregnancy, drugs and the military keep them from pursuing the lives they are destined to lead.
A critical smash on Broadway and in London, this high-octane show is about the conflict between love and rage – a tale about self-destructive rebellion and the striving to change into a better self in a better world through ethical choices. “American Idiot” weaves a touching story that promises to leave a lasting impression on all who witness it.
Auditions will be held for students currently in Grade 10 through age 21, on Sunday, May 18th, 2014 at 5:00pm by appointment only in Foxboro, MA with call backs on Wednesday, May 21st, 2014 at 6:30pm in Mansfield, MA. If you are physically unable to attend the auditions,please contact us by email for information on presenting a video audition.
