PrintAuditions for The Wedding Singer
ONLINE SUBMISSIONS
Directed by Brittany Goodwin
Music Direction by Stephen Burnette
Choreography by Valkyrie Rutledge
Roles Available for 8-10 men and 8-10 women, Ages 16 and up
All roles open to all ethnicities
After much consideration, we have decided to make Wedding Singer auditions strictly VIDEO SUBMISSIONS, with possible video or in-person callbacks. As much as we would love to see you in person, we feel this choice is the best as so many things are still up in the air with social distancing rules.
TO SUBMIT:
Please record around 1 minute of an 80s Pop or Broadway style song using accompaniment or a karaoke track. You may choose to sing from the show, or accompany yourself if you would like to be considered for a role that plays an instrument (Sammy, Robbie, George). Also include a short monologue or reading from any script. This doesn't have to be memorized, just show us your acting chops. You can record everything on your phone or computer camera, please just make sure we can see and hear you clearly.
Upload to Youtube, Vimeo, etc, and send us the link. Private links are fine but no passwords please. We will not download any videos.
WHEN SUBMITTING:
Please attached a headshot and resume and include ANY conflicts between June 1-August 14. The show runs weekends August 14-29 and rehearsals will, ideally, begin around June 1. It is important that you list ALL conflicts (work, vacation, school, etc). No conflicts will be permitted August 9-14.
Submit your links to brittany@artscenterofcc.com. You will receive a confirmation response within 24 hours. If you do not receive a response, please send an additional message to ensure your materials were received.
DUE MAY 4th by 8PM.
For questions, please contact brittany@artscenterofcc.com
