Home Made Theater announces open auditions for a fundraising concert of the classic Lerner and Loewe musical Brigadoon. This production, directed by JJ Buechner with musical direction by Richard Cherry, will be a concert staging performed in Congress Park on Sunday, September 10th.
The auditions will be held on Monday, July 31 and Tuesday, August 1, starting at 6:30PM at Home Made Theater’s headquarters at the Wilton Mall (near the Saratoga Hospital annex, across the hall from Home Goods).
Lerner and Loewe’s Brigadoon is an enchanting and beloved Broadway musical. Featuring such standards as “Almost Like Being in Love,” “Come to Me, Bend To Me,” and “Heather on the Hill,” Brigadoon is a timeless, romantic classic which vividly brings the mystery and magic of the Scottish highlands to life. New Yorker Tommy Albright unexpectedly arrives at the mysterious Scottish Highland village of Brigadoon, which only appears for one day every 100 years. When Tommy meets and falls in love with Fiona, a beautiful villager in this magical hamlet, he must decide whether to return to his old life, or stay in Brigadoon — forever.
Rehearsals will be Monday through Wednesday from 6:30 – 9:30PM starting on August 7. There will be one Sunday rehearsal (time TBD) on August 27. Rehearsals will be held at Home Made Theater’s headquarters in the Wilton Mall.
For the audition please prepare 16 bars of an uptempo Broadway song. Bring your own sheet music in your key; a pianist will be provided. No a cappella singing, please. Bring a current photo (cannot be returned) and a resume.
Be prepared to list all potential conflicts from the first rehearsal (conflicts can be worked around if known about in advance). Video submissions will be accepted for those unable to attend the live auditions up until July 30.
