Auditions and Rehearsals

Hello everyone,

First of all, thanks to all that auditioned.  As much as I enjoy the audition process and working with you individually, I always dislike having to choose between you.  We had close to 90 people audition and, as always, we had to make some very difficult choices. 

I mean it when I say that we could have cast this play 15 different ways and still had an excellent cast each way!  If you were called back for the role, it means that we believed you could play it in this production.  I want to encourage you all to keep coming back.  We’ve seen tremendous growth in those that have returned and you get better each time you audition.   

A few notes before the cast list:

• We honored the requests of those that limited the roles that they would accept.
• If you are cast, you MUST be enrolled in the THA M10A, B, C or D class by 6/1/23 if you are to keep your role.  The CRNs are 58391, 58392, 58393, 58394. 
• COSTUME MEASUREMENTS: Expect and email from Orly Ruiz, or Costume Designer, sometime in the next week to set an appointment
• We will be having a READ THROUGH of the play on Thursday 6/8/23 in PA-100 @ 6:00pm
• I hope to be sending out a rough draft of the rehearsal schedule this weekend.  Please align it with your work schedule ASAP.
• I’m trying to expedite the script delivery and hope to have those on hand next week.  I will be in touch on that. 
• START LISTENING TO THE 1998 CAST ALBUM NOW!
• https://youtu.be/x5D4wBK9pvA  and please start practicing this dialect NOW.

Thank you all again for an AWESOME job!

John, Nancy, Beth and Dave

CABARET CALLBACKS

Hello everyone,

Thanks for the amazing audition sessions.  We had over 80 people audition for this summer show and we couldn't have been happier wit the turn out.  Once again the talent at Moorpark College continues to amaze us! 

As discussed at auditions last night, if you are not on this list it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will not be cast in the play.  We have a very limited time available to us tonight and we can only see so many people.  If you are on the list for callbacks for a particular role, please practice the song listed in BOLD under each character name.  We will sing through those songs from approximately 7:30pm – 9:00pm and then go into reading mode for the leads. 

Dancers, please arrive at 5:30-6:00 to refresh the dance and learn the music for the Dance callback with Nancy and Beth.

New people will sing at 5:30-6:00 and be worked into the Dance audition when there is time.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend the callbacks and we will be reading for principal roles sometime around 9:00-9:30pm.  As we read from the script, I will be looking for any type of appropriate accents, but that is not required.  This play calls for distinct, well-defined characters and I will be looking for people that stand out as unique and interesting/entertaining with strong voices and physical comedic skills.

Thank you all for your patience, talent and interest in this show.  It will be a TON of fun and I can’t wait to get started this summer!

See you tonight,

John, Nancy, Beth and Dave

5:30 – 7:00pm

7:00 – 10:00pm
