Auditions for MATILDA

stageGR is looking for cast members ages 8-108 to audition for the various roles in our production of MATILDA! Cast members should be prepared to sing a 16 or 32 measure cut from a show-tune (bring a copy of the music for the accompanist). We anticipate having an overwhelming amount of interested people for these roles, and we regretfully will not be able to place everyone in the cast. The roles will be assigned based on talent, schedule availability, look, and other factors. From this casting call, stageGR will cast the roles of MATILDA, MISS TRUNCHBULL, MISS HONEY, MR WORMWOOD, MRS WORMWOOD, MICHAEL WORMWOOD, BRUCE, LAVENDER, AMANDA, NIGEL, ERIC, ALICE, HORTENSIA, TOMMY, RUDOLPHO, THE ACROBAT, THE ESCAPOLOGIST, MRS. PHILIPS, and MANY MORE...

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Cast member attendance is mandatory at all tech and dress rehearsals, and show times. Participation in this production should be the participant's highest priority over other activities. In the event of unavoidable schedule conflicts, please notify the directors at least 24 hours in advance. If you miss an excessive amount of rehearsals, you may be replaced.
