SEEKING

Equity actors for roles in A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN (see breakdown).
A Night with Janis Joplin is a vibrant, electrifying tribute to the legendary rock and blues singer, celebrating her life, her influences, and the raw power of her music. Through a concert-style journey, Janis shares the stage with the voices of trailblazing women who shaped her sound — from Aretha Franklin to Bessie Smith. It's a soul-stirring night of music, memories, and the unapologetic spirit of a true original.
Please note: this will be a fully immersive production.

PREPARATION

One song in the style of the character (Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, etc.). One song that shows off your talent and voice best. We suggest being familiar with the script beforehand. A perusal script is available at the theatre.
