DM Playhouse Hosts JOSEPH...DREAMCOAT Auditions 5/15
Auditions for "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" will be held at The Des Moines Playhouse. Auditions for boys and girls ages 8 and up are 1:00 PM, Saturday, May 15. Youths do not need to prepare a song; a song will be taught at auditions. Boys' voices should be unchanged. Auditions for men and women ages 16 and up are 6:00 PM, Sunday, May 16. Adults auditioning must bring a prepared solo, 90 seconds or less in length; an accompanist will be provided. All auditions are open to the public; no one is pre-cast. Those auditioning are asked to arrive no earlier than one hour prior to auditions.
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" contains roles for 17 men and 13 women, ages 16 and up, as well as a chorus of boys and girls, ages 8 and up. Among the special skills sought are street dancers, tumblers, and actors who can do tricks on BMX bikes, as well as an Elvis impersonator. Performances are July 16-Aug. 8. "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" is directed and choreographed by Karla Kash, with musical direction by Brenton Brown.
The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in the delightful musical parable "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," the first of many hits by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.
The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and
