Thank you to everyone who came out to audition for “A WRINKLE IN TIME”! We had an amazing turnout of over 40 performers for just 18 roles, but we are so grateful to everyone for sharing your talents with us and we will continue to advance our mission of providing other opportunities for artists like you to showcase yourselves in our community. A cast list for A Wrinkle In Time has been posted here.

Next Up:

RiverStage Community Theatre invites you to open auditions for its next mainstage show of the 2024-25 season, the uplifting, inspiring autobiographical rock musical, “tick… tick… BOOM,” from Jonathan Larson, creator of RENT! Auditions will be held at Greenspace Center, 815 Market Street, in Lewisburg on 3 dates: Saturday Jan 18 (3-5pm), Tuesday Jan 21 (7-9pm) and Wednesday Jan 22 (7-9pm).

WHAT TO SING:
Actors may attend any audition session, and should prepare a section of a song to sing. For this musical, the cast is small and every part is a singing part, and so we have posted suggested audition cuts from the show here below. It is much preferred that you prepare one of these recommended selections based on the role you are most interested in (accompaniment track will be provided at the audition), but if you prefer to sing something else instead, please prepare approximately 1 verse/chorus of a showtune that is in a similar style to the music in “Tick Tick Boom,” and bring a phone or device with an accompaniment track on it, or sing a-cappella.

• Song #1 for “Jon”: “Thirty/Ninety” (1st chorus, measures 61-84, from “They’re singing…” to last “What can you do?”) (Get PDF here.)
• Song #2 for “Jon”: “Why” (last verse+chorus, measures 118-173, from “I’m twenty nine…” to the end) (Get PDF here)
• Song for “Susan“: “Green Green Dress” (1st verse+chorus, measures 30-52, from “Let’s find a chair…” to last “you-u-u-u”) (Get PDF here)
• Song for “Karessa”: “Come To your Senses” (1st verse+chorus, measures 1-31, from “You’re on the air…” to last “don’t know what to do.”) (Get PDF here)
• Song for “Michael”: “Real Life” (1st verse+chorus, measures 1-30, from “Sunlight…” to 2nd “Is this real life”) (Get PDF here)

Auditioners will also be asked to read scenes from the script, and should also bring a calendar to indicate any scheduling conflicts they have between now and April 13. Performances will be April 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13 in the same location at RiverStage.

Originally staged as a 3-person musical with two performers playing all of the roles besides Jon, we would ideally like to cast 6 performers (3M, 3W) in our production who will divide those roles. All roles are singing roles. Characters include:

• Jon – the “promising young composer” on the brink of his 30th birthday. Michael’s roommate and Susan’s Boyfriend. Trying to write and sell a successful Broadway musical.
• Michael – Jon’s best friend, and roommate, a former actor-turned-market research executive.
• Susan – Jon’s girlfriend, a dancer; kind and independent.
• Karessa – Actress in the workshop for SUPERBIA, Jon’s musical
• Jon’s Mom and Jon’s Dad
• Rosa – Jon’s agent
• Judy – Market research executive at Michael’s office
• Counter Guy
• Market Research Guy
• St. S— – a famous Broadway composer

Rehearsal schedule will depend on role and actors’ conflicts, and not every actor will be called to every rehearsal. RiverStage Community Theatre is also committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, and we encourage performers of all races and ethnicities, gender identities, sexualities, abilities, and ages to audition. Please contact us with any questions at auditions@riverstagetheatre.org, and we’ll see you at auditions!
