ndianapolis Civic Theatre to Hold Open Auditions For MY FAIR LADY 11/30, 12/1
Indianapolis Civic Theatre will conduct OPEN AUDITIONS for its upcoming Broadway Concert Series presentation of MY FAIR LADY on Monday & Tuesday, Nov. 30 & Dec. 1 at 7pm.
Auditions will be held at the Theatre facility, 3200 Cold Spring Road on the campus of Marian University.
Rehearsals are scheduled to begin Jan. 25. MY FAIR LADY will be presented in a concert-style setting with on-stage orchestration and an emphasis on musicality and story-telling. All scenes and musical numbers will be performed, but in a less conventional, more minimal manner. The performers will have the script and score with them throughout the show. The concert-style format also offers more opportunity for non-traditional casting in terms of appearance and age. The musical concert will be presented Feb. 12 through Feb. 14, 2010.
The script calls for a cast of approximately 6 men and 5 women. Principal roles include Professor Henry Higgins, Eliza Doolittle, her father Alfred P. Doolittle, Colonel Pickering and Freddy Eynsford-Hill, in addition to various other supporting roles and the ensemble cast. This award-winning Lerner and Loewe musical is based upon George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" and tells the story of a coarse little flower girl in 1912 London who falls under the wing of a phonetics professor, transforming from a cockney ‘guttersnipe' into an upper class lady.
The production will be directed by Michael J. Lasley. Performers are asked to prepare 16 bars of a song and may be asked to sing from the show. Those interested in auditioning should bring sheet music in the appropriate key. An accompanist will be provided. Actors may also be asked to read from the script.
