*Audition Call* 🎭

This October The Workshop Players will bring to life Disney's musical theatre masterpiece - *The Hunchback of Notre Dame* at the Lionel Wendt Theatre.

Open Auditions will take place on the *10th May from 10.00 am - 4.00 pm* at the Lionel Wendt rehearsal room.

*Lead Roles and Ensemble Cast: Audition Time:10.00 - 1.30 pm*

Calling amateur musical theatre performers, aged 16 and above to audition for all lead and ensemble roles in the musical. The ensemble cast of approximately 30 performers will consist of actors, singers and dancers, and those with a combination of those skills will be preferred. Musical and theatrical performance experience is advantageous but is not a prerequisite. Candidates for lead characters that require dancing skills may be asked to demonstrate those capabilities as well at the audition.



*On Stage Choir: Audition Time: 2.00 pm - 4.00 pm*

This production design calls for a large mixed voice (SATB) Choir that performs a demanding vocal score on stage for the duration of the show. The 25-30 voice Choir is separate from the ensemble cast of characters and does not require much movement on stage. Singers, aged 16 and above, especially those with prior choral experience are invited to audition. Some ability to sight-read (western) music would be an advantage.



*Dance Roles and Dancers: Audition Time:1.30 pm – 2.00 pm*

For lead roles that require dancing and for those auditioning as dancers, short dance sequences would be taught to evaluate your ability to learn and perform specific choreography.
