[Capdist-auditions] Auditions Saturday for Singers & Actors CAROUSEL

[Cohoes Music Hall]

C-R Productions at Cohoes Music Hall Annouces Auditons for:

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s
CAROUSEL
Director – Jim Charles
Choreographer – Jessica Costa


In a Maine coastal village toward the end of the 19th century, the
swaggering, carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow, captivates and
marries the naive millworker, Julie Jordan. Billy loses his job just as he
learns that Julie is pregnant and, desperately intent upon providing a
decent life for his family, he is coerced into being an accomplice to a
robbery. Caught in the act and facing the certainty of prison, he takes
his own life and is sent "up there." Billy is allowed to return to earth
for one day and, time being what it is "up there," fifteen years have
passed and he now encounters the teenage daughter he never knew. She is a
lonely, friendless child, her father's reputation as a thief and bully
having haunted her throughout her young life. How Billy instills in both
the child and her mother a sense of hope and dignity is a dramatic
testimony to the power of love.
