Champaign Urbana Theatre Co Announces Auditions For THE PRODUCERS

Champaign Urbana Theatre Company announces auditions for the first production of the 21st Season- THE PRODUCERS.

The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max and Leo as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime For Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.

Auditions will be on Friday, January 13, from 6-9 pm and Saturday, January 14, from 10-5 pm. Callbacks, if necessary, will be on Sunday, January 15 from 1-4pm.

Auditions are by appointment. To select your time, please call 217-344-3884. Walk-ins are welcome, but priority will be given to those with an appointment. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes for the dance audition. Tap, tumble, or other dancing skills are a bonus. For the music audition, prepare 32 bars of any song not from the show. Do not base your audition performance on the Broadway show.

Auditions will be held at CUTC's new location at 608 N. Cunningham Ave. in Urbana.
The show will be performed at Parkland College Theatre March 15-18 and 22-25, 2012.

Any additional questions can be answered through CUTC's main office at 217-344-3884.
