All roles are open to audition. We are seeking a large, adult (18+) ensemble cast for this production (see character breakdown below). 
 
Those auditioning will be asked to sing up to one minute of a fully memorized show tune (not from JEKYLL & HYDE).  The song should showcase the style and vocal range of the character for which you are auditioning.  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.
 
Auditioners should mark their selection with a highlighter. An accompanist will be provided. A cappella singing or recorded accompaniments will not be allowed.
 
Additional vocalizing may also be a part of the audition to determine vocal range and harmonizing skills.
 
A short dance combination may be taught, so please come prepared for movement. Some auditioners may be asked to do a reading from the script. 

Auditioners without an appointment will be seen as time allows. Video auditions are accepted for those unable to attend on the scheduled dates.

Please note: Audition appointment spaces are limited and filled on a first-come, first served basis.
 

CALLBACKS             
Wednesday, November 6, 2019 at 7:00pm (if needed)

Rehearsals will be held three nights per week on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00-10:00pm beginning Sunday, December 1, 2019.  There will also be two Monday evening rehearsals – December 23 & 30 because of the Christmas and New Year’s holiday.
 
Tech week rehearsals will be Sunday through Thursday, January 26 through 30, 2020.  We do ask that Friday, January 31, 2020 be held in case an additional tech week rehearsal is needed.  The pickup rehearsal will be held on Thursday, February 6, 2020.
 
Please have all conflicts for the rehearsal period available, and please note on Audition Form.  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.

REMEMBER:
Casting is subjective and completely based on someone else’s opinion. Sometimes casting decisions are based on looks, height, or how you look next to other cast members. You will not get cast in every role you want and sometimes you won’t get cast at all. If you are not cast in this show, you should still celebrate the fact that you gave it your best shot and we hope to see you at future auditions!

Click on "Read More" (below the audition appointment request form) for information about the show as well as full character descriptions.

ABOUT THE SHOW
An evocative tale of two men – one, a doctor, passionate and romantic; the other, a terrifying madman – and two women – one, beautiful and trusting; the other, beautiful and trusting only herself– both women in love with the same man and both unaware of his dark secret. A devoted man of science, Dr. Henry Jekyll is driven to find a chemical breakthrough that can solve some of mankind's most challenging medical dilemmas. Rebuffed by the powers that be, he decides to make himself the subject of his own experimental treatments, accidentally unleashing his inner demons along with the man that the world would come to know as Mr. Hyde.
