Get to know the characters from Caroline, or Change, RMT's fall musical! π«§ Auditions are right around the corner on Monday, August 3 and Wednesday, August 5 from 7-10pm at North Bethesda United Methodist Church (10100 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda, MD 20814). Virtual auditions must be submitted by 5pm on Monday, August 3.
About the show: π΅ Set in one of the most pivotal times in America's history (1963 Louisiana), the Tony-nominated Caroline, or Change is riveting, moving and awe-inspiring. Featuring a virtuosic score by Jeanine Tesori (Shrek The Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie), it blends blues, gospel and traditional Jewish melodies, creating a breathtaking medium for Tony Kushner's provocative and personal story of political change, social change... and pocket change.
In addition to the characters listed in this post, RMT is also casting Cover/Ensemble: In addition to the principal cast, we are seeking 4-5 Company Artists who will serve as covers and as onstage embodiments of memory, community, and the unseen forces within the Gellman household. These performers will support the storytelling through movement, transitions, and ensemble work while maintaining coverage for roles.
