Rehearsal Schedule:
Rehearsal schedule will be available soon after auditions. We will start rehearsals after Christmas. Please put ALL conflicts on the back of your AUDITION FORM. Please note that NO CONFLICTS will be allowed for any performance or any day the week before the show opens unless cleared with the director at the time of auditions.
Preparation:
Prepare 16-32 bars of a contemporary musical theater song! Complete these two forms (Audition Form & Attendance Policy) prior to arriving for your audition. It is preferred for the Audition Form to be filled out on a computer so that all fields are completed and legible. The form works best when opened and completed in Adobe Acrobat (not a web browser).
Arrive on the day of your audition at least 10 MINUTES early to sign-in at The Biz office and be sure to bring the following:
- A BACKUP TRACK OF YOUR SONG ON A PHONE (no vocals can be on the backup track). You can bring SHEET MUSIC too, but an accompanist may not be available, so please be sure to bring a backup track.
- YOUR COMPLETED AUDITION FORM & ATTENDANCE POLICY
- ALL MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY CONFLICTS (including holidays) FROM December 27 – February 28, WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF THE AUDITION FORM. Please include any vacations! We require ALL cast members to be available for every night of tech rehearsals and ALL shows. (Conflicts added after casting may result in being asked to step down from the show.)
- DRESS NICELY, but bring CLOTHES THAT YOU CAN DANCE IN. We will hold a mandatory 30 minute dance audition after every 2 sets of singing time slots.
We realize that this weekend may be the beginning of travel time for the holidays for some of you, so we will be accepting video auditions. If you want to audition earlier OR send in a video audition, please contact the director, Megan Myers, at 317-650-4132 or megan.myers.3@gmail.com.
Synopsis:
When an uber-organized mother and her spontaneous teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right. Masquerading as each other, they must work together to solve the mystery of how to break the spell. By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another in a way they never could have imagined. In the end, both learn the true power of love and the strength of the bond between a mother and daughter in this heartfelt and hilarious adaptation.
Based on the beloved 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, Freaky Friday features a book by Bridget Carpenter – the co-executive producer and writer on the beloved TV hits, “Friday Night Lights” and “Parenthood” – and music and lyrics by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey – the Pulitzer Prize-winning composers of Next to Normal.
