Directed By Lysander Abadia
Starmites!
By Barry Keating and Stuart Ross
Eleanor, a shy and quirky teenager, collects and obsesses over comic books, especially the series called Starmites! Unbeknownst to her, she holds the key to defeating the arch nemesis of innerspace – Shaak Graa. When she is suddenly transported into her favorite comic books, she must join the Starmites in their battle for Innerspace and freedom, while escaping from the wild and dangerous Banshees, and their terrifyingly fabulous queen, Diva.
AUDITION DATES AND REQUIREMENTS
Open to Ages 11+
All auditions will be held in person at the Historic Hoover Theater studios.
AUDITION DATES:
Saturday, February 18, between 2:00-8:00 pm
Sunday, February 19, between 12:00-8:00 pm
HOW TO AUDITION
Auditions will be 2 hours total, and in small groups. The initial audition will be vocal and acting with director Lysander Abadia, and then participants will spend time learning and auditioning a dance routine with Emily Pennington.
Actors should arrive prepared to sing 16 bars of any musical theater song that shows off their voice (yes, really, only 16 measures– do your best), and provide recorded backing tracks for their song (NO lyrics, music only – karaoke tracks can be great for this).
They should expect to do some cold reading from the script and possibly some other acting exercises. They should come in comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement.
REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES
