Gotham Dance Theater - Narrator Auditions

Gotham Dance Theater is seeking a narrator for our spring production, an acting role that will narrate throughout a 55-minute dance show. The performance’s script is inspired by text provided by the dancers in the company within the theme of the show. Dance will not be required for the role. Strong movement background is a plus, but not required. Role is non-union and paid. Character Breakdown

NARRATOR (Female-Identifying, 20-40): Slightly jaded middle manager of the universe. All-knowing, immortal, still subject to a greater law.

Similar to the Emcee in Cabaret, our narrator varies in depth, tone, quirkiness, darkness and light, love and apathy, who also guides and observes our dancers along the stories we create. Audition Date
