The North Brunswick Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services will present “Big Fish” as next year’s 49th annual community theater musical.
Principals as well as a diverse adult ensemble are needed. No roles have been pre-cast. No experience is necessary.
Vocal and dialogue auditions for only the 11 principal and featured roles – Edward Bloom, Sandra Bloom, Will Bloom, Josephine Bloom, Karl the Giant, Amos Callaway, Don Price, The Witch, Jenny Hill, Dr. Bennett – and Young Will – will be held at 7 p.m. on Jan. 2 and 3 in the music room at North Brunswick Township High School, 98 Raider Road, North Brunswick.
All remaining character parts will be cast without a specific audition.
Ensemble vocal auditions will be at 10 a.m. on Jan. 5. This year’s ensemble will be limited to a cast size to be determined, and will require a competitive vocal audition.
No children will be included in the production other than the role of Young Will.
All those auditioning should have sheet music and be prepared to sing 32 measures
of a musical theater piece in the style of the show or a song from the show, and be ready to read from the script. An accompanist will be provided.
The announced cast and all those interested in working behind the scenes will meet
as an entire company for production notes and the first vocal rehearsal at 7 p.m. on Jan. 8.
Production dates are Feb. 28, and March 1 and 2.
