On Our Way!

Casting is complete, and our prospective cast members have been notified!  Once everyone officially accepts his or her role, we'll post the final cast list here.  It'll be up Wednesday night at the latest!

Thank you!

Auditions are over, and we had a great turnout.  The production team is extremely excited about the show, and can't wait to start the next phase of work on it.

Final casting decisions will be made and the cast list will be sent out Monday night.  We know it's a long time to wait and we're sorry!

Thanks to everybody who came out and expressed such enthusiasm about this project.  We think this show is going to be really special and something very different for this area, and we're so honored that you want to be a part of it--and that holds true for our readers who didn't audition but will be our audiences.  (An equally important aspect of the theatre!)

So again, we apologize for the wait, but tomorrow night we'll have our cast!

Today is the day!

Auditions begin today at 6pm at Cite!  Just a reminder to be there early--we recommend ten to fifteen minutes.  Remember, auditions are first-come, first-served, so if we have a big turnout today and you're not there early you might have a wait before you get to be heard.  Be on time!

We can't wait to see everyone there.  Break a leg!

More Audition Information

Hey auditioners,

With auditions five days away (!!!), here are a couple of last-minute things you need to know.

IF you are unable to get your hands on sheet music, our musical director has two "default" songs that he can play for you.  One is Memories, from CATS, and the other is You'll Never Walk Alone, from CAROUSEL.  In addition the project director will be bringing selections from Avenue Q, Wicked, Seussical, and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.  If you need a song from one of those four shows please send an e-mail to yourbeastinside@gmail.com and double-check to make sure your selection is in the books, as not all numbers from the shows are represented.

Please come to auditions with your conflicts already in mind!  If you are a good fit for the production we can work around your schedule, but we need to know what it is.  We plan to rehearse on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings beginning on or around May 24th, from roughly 6-9pm.  (This is subject to change, but is what the production team is planning.)  So any conflicts that you have between the end of May and the last day of performance (August 14th) please write down and bring to auditions so you do not forget.  There will be a space on the audition form for you to let us know.

We can't wait to see all of you at auditions.  This is promising to be a really exciting production, and we want you to be a part of it!
