Posted by Craze Agency on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
The College of Southern Nevada is casting "Violet," a musical. Philip Shelburne, dir.
Project description: "One of the most acclaimed off-Broadway shows of the Nineties with its powerful story and energetic, toe-tapping score. The musical is based upon the celebrated short story 'The Ulgiest Pilgrim' by Doris Betts and is set in 1964 during the early days of the Civil Rights Movement. It follows the growth and enlightenment of a bitter young woman accidentally disfigured and scarred by her father. In hopes that a TV evangelist can cure her, she embarks on a journey by bus from her sleepy North Carolina town to Oklahoma. Along the way, she meets a young black soldier who teaches her about beauty, love, courage and what it means to be an outsider. The musical boasts a dynamic gospel, rock, country, and rhythm and blues score by award-winning composer Jeanine Tesori. The powerful script and lyrics by Brian Crawley unflinchingly deal with the important, sensitive issues of the Deep South and the Sixties and features a strong ensemble cast with bravura roles for the two leads."
Rehearsals begin in February, and are expected to be Mon.-Fri. in the evenings; runs April 19-21 & 26-28 in the Nicholas J. Horn Theatre in Las Vegas, NV.
Seeking—Actors: males and females, children, teens and adults.
Auditions will be held January 28 & 29, 7 p.m. in the BackStage Theatre at CSN’s Cheyenne Campus, 3200 E. Cheyenne Ave., Las Vegas, NV. Callbacks will be by invitation only on Feb. 4 & 5, 6:30 p.m. in the BackStage Theatre.
Prepare 32 bars of a Broadway musical, gospel, or a selection from "Violet." Bring sheet music in your key; an accompanist will be provided. A cappella auditions are highly discouraged.
Non-singers should prepare a contemporary dramatic monologue of no longer than 90-seconds. Non singers will perform simple vocal scales with the accompanist to determine range.
Bring pix & resumes.
