Axoloris
Registration opens April 11th, 2022
We are thrilled to present this original musical by Sean Mendelson!
AXOLORIS is set in an imaginary future in which humans rely heavily on virtual reality and robots. Five young friends are preparing for Earth Day, which is now also a celebration of Axoloris — a spiritual messenger said to visit people in their dreams and inspire them to protect the planet. The night before Earth Day, all five have a shared vision of Axoloris, which leads them on an environmental adventure; while simultaneously, the youths come to terms with how they relate to one another and to the world at large, and make changes for the better.
A coming of age story, AXOLORIS also allows audiences to be part of deciding where the story goes; and hopefully, ends up inspiring them to make changes in their own lives.
Director: Celia Scheuerman

HOW TO AUDITION
Actors should arrive with approximately 1 minute of a song prepared to sing a cappella and from memory. 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.
Please choose a musical theater song, rather than a pop song, for your audition. Either uptempo or ballad is fine, you do not need to prepare one of each.
