Auditions:
Sunday, January 26th, 2020 at 7:00pm - Open Auditions
Monday, January 27th, 2020 at 7:00pm - Open auditions for New Auditionees
Monday, January 27th, 2020 at 7:30pm - Call-Backs from Sunday Audtions
Tuesday, January 28th, 2020 at 7:00pm - Call-Backs ONLY
Please arrive at least 15 minutes early. There will be a couple forms that you will need to fill out prior to the start of auditions. Headshots and resumes are NOT required, but if you have them, please feel to bring them with you. Auditions are OPEN to everyone, however they are CLOSED for spectators. This means, if you are NOT there to audition, you are not allowed to stay and watch. Auditions are not a spectator sport. You will be nervous enough auditioning in front of your fellow auditionees without a bunch of extra eyes watching. Please prepare 16 bars of music from ANY Broadway musical of your choosing (except THE PRODUCERS) to sing at the auditions. Bring your sheet music with you and have it marked with your 16 bars. An accompanist will be provided. Wear comfortable clothes or bring clothes which you can change into. Wear or bring shoes that will allow movement for the dance audition. We will be making a first round cut after Sunday night's auditions and only calling back specific people for Monday. We will then make an additional cut after Monday night's auditions for the final call back on Tuesday night. This will help us expedite the process and not waste people's time.
A Tentative Rehearsal Schedule is available on this page for download. This is for informational purposes only and does not constitute the final schedule. This is simply a tool for you to evaluate the time commitment required for the production. The Final Rehearsal Schedule will be released once the show is cast and conflict dates are known.

SYNOPSIS:
The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.
Character Breakdown

Gender: Male
Age: 35 to 45
Vocal range top: F4
Vocal range bottom: A2

Gender: Male
Age: 35 to 55

Vocal range bottom: F2
Rogers Debris
