All roles are open to audition.  We are specifically seeking talented actor/musicians of ALL ethnicities, who can also act and sing, for this musical production (4-5 women; 7-8 men, 1 girl). This musical is based on the film ONCE. 
 
Please sing a short folk/rock song (one minute or less) in the style of the show; and if you are able, please be prepared to accompany yourself on the instrument that you are most proficient in. There will be a keyboard in the room.  Actors must bring any other instrument(s) they intend to play for the audition.  If you play any of the other instruments listed below, please submit video links of you playing those as well. Please feel free to submit band reels and other promotional material for review! 
 
Instruments needed in ONCE: Piano, guitar, violin, cello, double bass, electric bass, mandolin, ukulele, accordion, banjo, harmonica and drums/percussion.
 
Playing an instrument is not a requirement for the audition for this show.  If you do not play an instrument, we will have an accompanist available.  If you do not play an instrument, please come with sheet music clearly marked for the accompanist.  This does not apply to Girl (who must play piano) and Guy (who must be an excellent guitar player).
 
Please note:  The traditional orchestra stipend may apply to actors serving as musicians.  There will be scheduled orchestra rehearsals outside the performer rehearsal schedule for all musicians (including actor/musicians) and therefore a stipend may be available to those performers doing double duty in the production.
 
Rehearsals will be held three nights per week on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00-10:00pm beginning Tuesday, November 28, 2017.  Tech week rehearsals will be Sunday through Thursday, January 28-February 1, 2018.  We do ask that Friday, February 2, 2018 be held in case an additional tech week rehearsal is needed.  The pickup rehearsal will be held on Thursday, February 8, 2018.

If you are unable to make the mandatory tech week rehearsals and/or pickup rehearsal, we will be unable to cast you in this production.

The Warner Stage Company is a regional community theatre company and does not offer compensation or housing for performers.
