Directors Dave Rhinard, Karen Hughes, and Dianna George will hear singers on Sunday, April 19 from 3:00-6:00 pm and Monday, April 20 from 5:30-7:00 pm at the Soo Theatre, 534 Ashmun Street. This award-winning musical, adapted from the book Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, will be performed July 9-12, 2009 on the Soo Theatre stage.

There are lots of roles to fill in this show including 6 male leads, 4 female leads, multiple secondary character roles, a children’s chorus of orphans (ages 8-11), pickpockets (ages 11-14), and an adult chorus. For more information on the show, see Oliver! – Synopsis, Scenes, Songs, and Cast.

Soo Theatre asks auditionees to prepare one verse of a musical theatre song and to bring sheet music for the accompanist. Memorization is strongly encouraged, especially if seeking a leading role. Children auditioning for the chorus may sing a verse of a children’s song if they do not have a song from a musical.

Soo Theatre Project is continually seeking behind-the-scenes volunteers for backstage work, set construction, costumes, publicity, etc. Stop in or call to let us know if you have another area of interest and would like to be a part of the 2009 summer season.

Please call (906) 632-1930 and/or email stars@lighthouse.net for more information. There are many roles that need to be filled. Don't be shy! Come out to audition for Oliver! at the Soo Theatre Project!
