Buck Creek Playhouse will hold open auditions for the BCP Playhouse Players youth production of 13: THE MUSICAL with music & lyrics by Jason Robert Brown and book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn, on Monday and Tuesday, March 30 and 31, 2020, at 7 p.m. at the playhouse, 11150 Southeastern Avenue.

Director Ben Jones is looking for a diverse group of youth ages 13 to 17, consisting of 8 leads, and an ensemble of 6 to 10 actors. All roles are available.

Plucked from his fast-paced New York City life, preteen Evan Goldman is plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents' divorce. Surrounded by an array of middle school students, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he occupy a comfortable link of the food chain... or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts? With a rock score from Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, 13 is a musical about fitting in - and standing out!

AUDITION PREPARATION

• Bring resume and headshot, if available.
• Everyone auditioning should come prepared to sing 32 bars of a song of their choice. Please bring sheet music in the correct key. An accompanist will be provided.
• You may be asked to read from the script or to sing from the score.
