STREET THEATRE COMPANY announces auditions for its JUNE 2017 production of Stephen Schwartz's seminal hit PIPPIN
Get ready for a new vision of Stephen Schwartz's greatest Broadway hit - before Wicked, that is. Pippin tells the story of a young man looking for meaning in life. Along the way he tries war, sex, politics, and domestic life. Meanwhile, The Players are striving to show us a more nefarious story with Pippin as the main attraction.
Rehearsals will begin May 1.
Rehearsals are typically Monday-Thursday nights plus Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Not everyone will be called to all rehearsals.
Performances are JUNE 9-25.
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 5:00.
Audition dates: MONDAY, April 3 - 5:00-10:00pm with callbacks and Dance calls Wednesday, April 5 - 5:00-10:00pm
