Familiy Players of NENY is proud to announce that they will be holding
auditions for a February production of<br><i><b>The 25th Annual Putnam
County Spelling Bee</b></i><br><br>Six young people in the throes of
puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood
themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing
doesn't necessarily make you a loser.<br><br><i><b>The 25th Annual
Putnam County Spelling Bee</b></i> is a hilarious tale of
overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent
outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The
show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of
hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming
cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they
can stand out and fit in at the same time.<br><br>Roles are available
for 4 women and 5 men.<br><br><u><b>Audition Info</b></u><br>Sand
Creek Middle School (329 Sand Creek Road) in Colonie<br>Monday,
November 23, 2000 at 7pm<br>Tuesday November 24, 2009 at 7pm<br><br>Please
prepare 16-32 bars of an up-tempo song from a Broadway Musical.<br>Singing
from the show is not required (nor suggested), however, familiarity
with the music might be useful as we may teach you a song from the
show and ask you to sing it if call backs are required.<br><br>Please
also prepare a brief comedic monologue OR joke (30-60 seconds). Most
of the characters in this show are children played by adults. We want
to see you be playful and have fun. This show is a COMEDY. Please
choose something that will showcase your comedic timing. Additionally,
you will be asked to do cold readings from the script.<br><br>Visit
our website at www.familyplayersofneny.com for full details and
character descriptions.<br><br>If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact director Jeffrey P. Hocking at jhocking@nycap.rr.com<br><br>
