Auditions for the pop-rock musical
Next to Normal, the first show in Pioneer Theatre Company’s 2011-2012
season, will be held on Wednesday, June 15, 2011, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Callbacks will be Thursday, June 16, 2011; that time will be announced to those
called back.
Audition slots from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00
p.m. on Wednesday, June 15 are for Actors’ Equity members only. Audition slots
from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. are open to all auditioners. The sign-up sheet will
be posted by noon on Friday, June 7, 2011. Auditions will be held in Room 245 at
Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre.
Non-AEA auditioners must come in to
sign up on the callboard in Room 325 at the Roy W. and Elizabeth E. Simmons
Pioneer Memorial Theatre. AEA members ONLY may contact Elizabeth Williamson at
elizabeth.williamson@ptc.utah.edu to sign up, STARTING Wednesday, June 8, 2011.
(This feature is available for Actors’ Equity members only; please
do not contact earlier than Wednesday, June 8, 2011.)
Auditioners will be asked to sing
only one song to begin with, but should be prepared to sing two contrasting
contemporary musical theatre selections: an up-tempo selection and a ballad.
Pop-based styles are preferred (e.g. Jason Robert Brown, Stephen Schwartz, Elton
John, etc., but not Stephen Sondheim, William Finn, etc.). Selections should
show the auditioner’s ability to sing syncopated pop rhythms, as well as the
extent of the singer's high, pop-style belt range. Dramatic non-theatre songs
are also acceptable (e.g. Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, etc.). The audition slots
are limited to three minutes.
An accompanist will be provided, but
auditioners should bring their own sheet music and/or scores (neither will be
provided by the theatre). A photo and résumé are recommended. The callback
audition will involve dancing as well as singing from the score.
Rehearsal dates for the production are
Monday, August 22, 2011 – Thursday, September 15, 2011; performance dates are
September 16, 2011 – October 1, 2011. Guest artist Karen Azenberg will direct
and choreograph the production; Larry Goldberg will be the musical
director.
All roles are currently available; all
auditioners must be 18 or older.
Thanks,
