Theatre--Auditions (Musical Theatre)



 The Abbey Players are holding an additional night of auditions for their production of the 2005 Tony award winning The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on Wednesday, July 20th at 6 pm.  The show will run for 14 performances from September 30th to November 12th (with the exception of the weekend of October 14th due to the Cattle Festival in Abbeville).  The show will be directed by Scott Meddows with musical direction by Jason Pennington.

The audience participation show is most simply a spelling be.  The show is very comedic and improvisation is a necessity for some of the cast members.  The music has pop influences and the female characters should have strong belt/mix voices.  There is minimal dance.

Please come to the audition with 16 bars from a Broadway musical number prepared to sing the entire number.  Cold readings will be done from the script.  

For more information, go to the Abbey Players website.
