AUDITIONS

 

Open to anyone over  the age of 15 - We strongly believe that diversity of all kinds contributes to a broader theatrical perspective and we warmly encourage applicants from the many diverse communities to audition!

 

Join us for auditions for our spring musical "HIGH FIDELITY," opening March 2022. 

About the Show:

When Brooklyn record store owner Rob finds himself unexpectedly dumped, his life takes a music-filled turn toward the introspective. Based on the popular novel by Nick Hornby, High Fidelity follows Rob as he struggles to discover how his relationship went awry, and strives to change his life in order to win back his sweetheart Laura. With memorable characters and a rock-and-roll score, this homage to music geek culture explores love, heartbreak, and the power of the perfect soundtrack. Contains adult language.
