Goodspeed Musicals Holding Auditions for SHOW BOAT

By:

Calling all girls! Here's your chance to join a professional Acting Company. Goodspeed Musicals is holding auditions for local Non-Equity child actors (GIRLS ages 8-10) for its upcoming production of Show Boat. Auditions will be held on Saturday, April 23rd, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Goodspeed-at-Chester theatre in Chester, Conn. Auditions are for the understudy of Little Kim.

All auditions are by appointment only. Appointments may be made starting immediately. Please call Company Management at (860) 873-8664, ext. 387, Tuesday through Sunday, 11 am - 5 pm.
Interested performers should prepare two songs (up-tempo and ballad, 32 bars - not the entire song). Bring a resume, photo and sheet music. Music must be legible and in the proper key (no lead sheets please). An accompanist will be provided.

Candidates must be available for rehearsals, June 7 - June 30, and performances, July 1 - September 17. Rehearsals occur in East Haddam, Conn. and performances occur in Chester, Conn.
Performers of all ethnicities are strongly encouraged to audition.

Dedicated to the preservation and advancement of musical theatre, Goodspeed Musicals produces three musicals each season at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Conn., and additional productions at The Norma Terris Theatre in Chester, Conn., which was opened in 1984 for the development of new musicals. The first regional theatre to receive two Tony Awards (for outstanding achievement), Goodspeed also maintains The Scherer Library of Musical Theatre and The Max Showalter Center for Education in Musical Theatre. Goodspeed Musicals is supported in part by the Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
