Home Made Theater Holds Open Auditions for 

Shrek The Musical

 

Home Made Theater announces open auditions for their October production of
Shrek the Musical, music by Jeanine Tesori, book and lyrics by David
Lindsay-Abaire, based on the DreamWorks Motion Picture, directed by Dawn
Oesch, musical direction by Carol Hawks, and choreographed by Melissa
Lacijan. Auditions will be held on Tuesday, May 17th and Wednesday, May 18th
from 6:30-8:30pm at the Spa Little Theater in Saratoga Spa State Park.
Attendance only required at one audition evening. The cast consists of adult
and teen actors and singers (dancing a plus), ages 18 and up. There are
three parts for ages 8-15 who are very strong singers.

Set in a mythical “once upon a time” sort of land, Shrek The Musical is the
story of a hulking green ogre who, after being mocked and feared his entire
life by anything that crosses his path, retreats to an ugly green swamp to
exist in happy isolation. Suddenly, a gang of homeless fairy-tale characters
(Pinocchio, Cinderella, the Three Pigs, you name it) raid his sanctuary,
saying they’ve been evicted by the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad.
Shrek strikes a deal: He’ll get their homes back, if they give him his home
back! But when Shrek and Farquaad meet, the Lord strikes a deal of his own:
He’ll give the fairy-tale characters their homes back, if Shrek rescues
Princess Fiona. Shrek obliges, yet finds something appealing - something
strange and different - about this pretty princess. He likes her, but why
does she always run off when the sun sets? HMT is very excited to bring this
family favorite to the stage in October. Something for everyone is awaiting
you. Let your freak flag fly!

Those auditioning should prepare a 16-bar excerpt from an upbeat song of
their choice and bring their own sheet music, as a pianist will be provided.
Selections from the show are allowed. No a capella singing. Dance auditions
will be at callbacks. Please wear comfortable clothing and appropriate shoes
and bring a current photo and résumé. Photos cannot be returned.

Production dates are weekends, October 14-30, 2016. Rehearsals will begin on
August 29th with a full schedule beginning September 6th. Rehearsals will be
Monday through Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoon or evenings. Some
additional July/August dates may be scheduled according to availability. No
appointments are necessary for the audition. For a detailed flyer with
