Audition Requirements

Members of Equity and ACTRA please note that as FRC produces shows on a volunteer, recreational basis, we will not pay any professional association fees, such as the fees stipulated by Equity's Amateur Guest Artist policy, under any circumstances whatsoever.

Please come prepared to perform the following:

• a 60-90 second audition cut of a musical theatre song. No specific style or genre required, but we are looking for big character choices. We request that you do not sing a song from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
  
• a short comedic monologue (1 minute max) OR a long form joke

Please note that the audition includes a group dance call at the end of each block. You may also be asked to do a vocal range test as part of the audition.

Auditioners should upload the backing track for their song of choice to the website when submitting their audition information. No acapella auditions are accepted, and no accompanist will be available.

About the Show

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels takes us to the French Riviera for high jinks and hilarity. Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together, only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress, Christine Colgate, wins, and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!

Rehearsals
