We are seeking the following musicians for this production – Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar and Drums. Auditioners should be prepared to play one minute of a fully memorized rock style song (80’s style preferably, but not from ROCK OF AGES) This should be something that you are very comfortable with, not something you just learned the day before!  It is important that you perform your song, not just stand and deliver – THIS IS 80’s ROCK!   

After making your audition appointment, you will be sent a short excerpt from the show to prepare in addition to your audition song. Musicians must be able to read sheet music, so a brief sight-reading exercise may also be required at your audition.

Rehearsals will be held on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings beginning November 29th.  Our initial read-thru will be held on Thursday, November 19th at 7:00pm.  Musicians will not be required at every rehearsal.  Because of the nature of the production, the musicians actually play a role and interact on several occasions with the actors on stage.  The band will be costumed and required to attend some rehearsals in addition to tech week. 

We would like to have the band present for the read-thru on Sunday, November 29th.  to meet the cast and learn about the production and then return to rehearse with the cast mid-January.  Separate rehearsals may be held with the music director prior to rehearsing with the cast. 

Musicians will receive a stipend.  Please send an inquiry to swilcox@warnertheatre.org for full details compensation.

There will be one midweek rehearsal on Thursday, February 11, 2016.

Auditioners should mark their selection with a highlighter. An accompanist will be provided. A cappella singing or recorded accompaniment will not be allowed.
 
There is a lot of dance/movement in ROCK OF AGES and everyone will be required to do a movement audition which will be done in groups, so please wear something appropriate.  Specialist dancers will be required for several numbers – these will come out of the ensemble.  Auditioners may also be asked to read from the script.
