SEEKING:
ENSEMBLE DANCERS: Townspeople, Gods and Goddesses, Fates, Hercules’ enthusiastic fans, and so much more, becoming a literal Greek Chorus on this epic adventure story from zero to hero. All have strong dance technique and abilities across multiple styles, from jazz to contemporary to hip-hop. Acro/tricks and/or experience with puppetry a plus. Strong singers with the ability to maneuver around tight, complex harmonies. Experience singing Gospel music preferred.
