Grosse Pointe Theatre Holds 'Jesus' Auditions for GODSPELL 7/15
By: BWW News Desk Jul. 15, 2010
Grosse Pointe Theatre is searching for an actor to play Jesus in its production of Godspell. The production has been otherwise cast, but the role of Jesus has yet to be filled, due to unexpected circumstances resulting in two previously cast actors having to drop out of the show. (!)
Auditions will be held this coming Thursday, July 15, from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the Grosse Pointe Theatre rehearsal facility: 315 Fisher Road in Grosse Pointe.The role of Jesus must be the most charismatic individual in the cast. High energy, charming, funny, gentle but with strength. He is the sort of person others instinctively follow. Songs are in the tenor range with the ability to reach high G#. The audition song: God Save the People.
The show will run from September 19 to Octorber 2nd at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial. Rehearsals are currently being held on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Weekends are free until the end of August. This is an unpaid, community theatre production. Costumes, headshots and refreshments are provided!Videos
