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!
