Villagers Theatre is looking for some teens for an upcoming production of "Gypsy."A musical with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and a book by Arthur Laurents, "Gypsy" is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of famous burlesque performer Gypsy Rose Lee. It follows Gypsy Lee's mother, Rose, and she tries to raise two daughters to perform onstage.
Auditions will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. May 15 and 18, for actors 8 to 12 years old and from 7-10 p.m. for actors 13-19 years old. Prepare 16-32 bars of a musical theatre piece written after 1960 and reflecting the style of the show. An accompanist will be provided. Bring appropriate dance clothing as you may be asked to dance during your audition. Callbacks are from 6-10:30 p.m. on May 21.
The show requires a total 15 to 17 strong actors, no older than 19.
This production will begin rehearsals on May 26 and rehearse for an intense six-week period. A more detailed rehearsal outline will be provided at auditions. Performances will be at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays July 25 to Aug. 10.
This production is directed by Corey Rubel, musically directed by François Suhr, and choreographed by Jillian Kimberlin.
