Director Charles Harvey will cast five singers: two females and three males in “First Date, The Musical” during auditions on Monday, March 5, at 6:30 p.m. on the Theatre 29 main stage. Opposites Aaron and Casey are on their first date, he’s a charming but nervous investment banker; she’s a delightfully controversial cool girl. They’re in their 20s to 30s he’s a tenor and she has a strong belt mix. Man #1 and Man #2 both play several roles from a womanizer to a gay best friend, and a British rocker bad boy to super-Christian dad. Woman #1 plays many roles as well from a sexy ex- to a Jewish grandmother. Come dressed to move and prepare 16 bars of a Broadway show tune. Bring a non-vocal backing track on CD, mobile device or phone; speakers will be provided.
“First Date, The Musical” will rehearse weeknights until its opening on April 27. Performances run Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons through May 20. Please also attend auditions if you’re interested in volunteering backstage, with technical assistance or costuming.
