Newnan Theatre Company announces auditions for the first show of the 2013/2014 season, the classic, rock and roll Tony Award winning musical Bye, Bye Birdie!

 

Auditions will take place at Newnan Theatre Company on Sunday June 16 and Monday June 17 at 7 pm both evenings.  No audition appointments are needed; those interested in auditioning can choose either evening to attend.  Newnan Theatre Company is located at 24 1st Avenue Newnan, GA 30263.

 

Performers are asked to prepare 32 measures of a Broadway song of their choice in the style of Bye, Bye Birdie.  (Please no music from Disney, rock operas/musicals or hymns.)  Auditioners can bring pre recorded tracks of their piece or bring sheet music in their key (which is preferred.) An accompanist will be available.

 

Auditions will also have a dance portion, so all attendees are asked to dress prepared to move.  Cold readings from the script will also be asked for.  Sides will be made available at the auditions, not before.
