Auditions will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 7th, and at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, May 8th.

All in-person auditions will take place at Hedback Community Theater, home of Footlite Musicals, at 1847 North Alabama Street.

Please Note: Online video submissions are also available and must be submitted and received by Saturday, May 6th. You may submit videos to RBCWFLOWERS@GMAIL.COM. With this vocal video you must also submit a choreographed dance of 8 musical bars in style with the musical, A Chorus Line.

There will also be a dance workshop conducted on Saturday, April 29th to teach the opening dance sequence to the production, which will also be used for auditions.

The dance workshop will be held at the following location:

Turning Pointe Academy of Dance

(Class time 1:00-3:00 p.m.), class will also be videoed for review.

Please come to the in-person auditions prepared to sing 16 bars of a musical style that best shows your Broadway vocals. (The vocal auditions should be something other than a musical selection from A Chorus Line). An accompanist will be provided; please bring sheet music in the correct key. The choreographed dance audition, taught at the April 29th dance workshop, will follow after everyone has completed the vocal auditions. If you are auditioning for a lead role, there will be script readings to follow vocals and choreography.
