Tom and I wanted to write a little something to explain our plan for this year’s musical. Please read this carefully and in entirety. If you missed our meeting PLEASE email Ms. Oliveri so we can set up a time to explain this to you in person or on Webex. This year we are going to do an upbeat, peppy cabaret musical! It is going to be collaborative, and mostly on YOU to create and prepare your character. This will first explain the plot of our musical, than explain what you need to prepare for your audition. 

Synopsis: We're taking the form of cabaret and literally turning it on its head! CAPSIZED CABARET takes place in the upside-down cabaret theatre of a cruise ship that is lost in the Bermuda Triangle. The entertainers have taken off in the life boats, so the Captain needs to enlist the help of the crew and passengers to raise the morale of the people stuck on board. Will they be able to pull off a show!? Will these people ever be saved??? Will they be able to understand the Captain's Norwegian accent!? See CAPSIZED CABARET to find out the answers to all of these burning questions! 


Audition Dates: March 24th and callbacks March 25th (if necessary) 
First Meeting: March 26th  
Show date: (THIS MAY CHANGE) First weekend in June

Audition Information:

           
  1. Create a character for yourself.  Example: Deck Crew Mop Guy named Earl
    1. A 5-point (detailed) description of your character. Print out TWO copies and bring them to the audition.
      1. I am 60 years old and have dedicated to this job for 20 years. I am from Italy and have a STRONG accent.
      2. I am married with 3 children who I love so much. I only want my children to be happy & strong individuals. 
      3. I have a very specific skill that could help solve the problem of the capsized boat. That skill is…
      4. I feel like people take advantage of my kindness and walk all over me. I am not a confident person, so I never tell people how I truly feel.
      5. I have a secret reason for being on this ship!! SH! That reason is…
      2. Choose ONE song that relates/explains to your character and storyline! At least 16 bars and prepare the                                    vocal part of the song for your audition. Your clever choices are apart of this audition.
                           Thoughtful choices will go a long way. ONLY Musical Theatre SONGS.
                          *If you are auditioning for a dance solo or duet, you will choreograph and dance at least five counts                                 of  8  and choose the song the same way you would if you were to sing it. 
                                    PUT the link to your backing track on your audition SIGN-UP. 
 
 
           3. You can audition with a duet but your characters need to be connected. Each of you need to answer the questions (part one of the audition) separately.


TIPS and things to remember-
1) This is a COMEDY, so your characters should not have a sob story. Examples of some things you can think about to create your character are: Where is your character from? Does he/she have an accent? What is their personality like? What talents do they have? Are you hiding a secret? What do you look like?** This is a space for POSITIVITY ONLY. ** 
2) There are NO limits to this project. This is a comedy, so bring your confidence! 
3) We are taking YOUR characters and writing them into OUR story! These will be the characters you are playing in our musical. It will be strung together, with song and dance and an incredible plot that we will be writing.
