SEEKING
Equity actors for chorus parts in COME FALL IN LOVE (see breakdown).
We welcome performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and body types. We are seeking actors with unique, vibrant singing skills. Certain roles will also require strong instrumental abilities. Actors of diverse cultural and racial backgrounds are encouraged to apply. In general, we are not looking for conventional “music-theatre style”/vibrato singers. We are seeking singers capable of pure tones and/or vibrato that feels informed by jazz/rock/gospel.
