Open Auditions for Musical Revue

Rock River Players: Open Auditions for Musical Revue

When: May 11, 5 PM to May 14, 2026, 7 PM
Where: South Newfane Schoolhouse, Dover Road, Newfane, VT
URL: https://rockriverplayers.org

The Rock River Players invite you to audition for our upcoming evening of musical theater!
Directed by Walter Cramer, this two-week July run will offer an evening of songs from lesser-known musicals – or lesser-known songs from popular musicals – for musical theater lovers of all walks to enjoy!

A lineup of solos, duets, and ensemble numbers will be lightly staged and strung together by narration – a format that allows for a shorter and less involved rehearsal and production schedule without sacrificing the quality of music or the theatrical experience for the audience.

AUDITION DETAILS

WHEN:
Monday, May 11 from 5:00pm–7:00pm
Thursday, May 14 from 5:00pm–7:00pm

WHERE:
The South Newfane Schoolhouse
387 Dover Road, South Newfane, VT 05351

WHAT TO BRING:
We encourage auditioners to select a song that they would like us to consider adding to the program for them to sing in the production. Please come prepared with sheet music or a recorded instrumental track to accompany your audition!
Musical Director, Dan DeWalt, will be at auditions to provide singers using your sheet music (please no requests for transposing on sight), and we will also have a speaker available for pre-recorded accompaniment.
