You are invited to audition for Cinderella at Lincoln Community Playhouse!
Impossible things are happening every day at Lincoln Community Playhouse, but especially on Monday, February 24th and Wednesday, February 26th when we hold auditions for Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. This is the original script based on the historic 1958 television event starring Julie Andrews.
Roles are available for 6 female identifying actors and 5 male identifying actors, plus an ensemble. Auditionees for these roles must be at least 15 years old by auditions, and can sign up for an audition time starting at 7:00 p.m.
There will also be a youth ensemble for ages 9-14 years old. Interested auditionees can register for the 6:00p slot on either date. (Family members can audition at 6:00 p.m. with them.)
Callbacks will be Sunday, March 2nd at 7:00p. Performances are May 2-4, 9-11.
Please prepare a 32-measure solo from a Golden Age classical musical (not Cinderella), such as the work of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, or Frank Loesser. An accompanist will be provided. Auditionees may be asked to learn a movement combination and read from the script.
Christine Cottam will direct with music direction by Bryson Cole, choreography by Kimberly Stutzman, stage management by Michelle Zinke, costume design by Maralee Maldavs, lighting design by Cassi Crain, tech direction by Jeff Maldavs, scenic design by Steven Kendall, and properties by Julie Enersen.
What to know about the Cinderella vision
In this version, the world of Cinderella is light and dreamy mixed with light-hearted moments from the various cast members. Costume Designer Maralee Maldavs will be fashioning ballgowns and fairy-tale regalia for the show. Cast members will learn ballroom dancing with Choreographer Kim Stutzman.
The roles of the Queen, Stepmother, and Fairy Godmother are mature women with a dash of caricature. The Stepsisters will be cast as women. The role of the King is for a mature man, bumbling but endearing. There are also the roles of Herald, Chef, Steward for men. And if you are Prince Charming in real life - come audition!
Also looking for charming and lively Ensemble members who can create magic onstage for every audience member who has ever loved Cinderella.
Lulu Audition (ages 4-6 years old)
Lincoln Community Playhouse is searching for two young girls to alternate the role in three performances per week throughout the special 2-week engagement of the musical Waitress, with the possibility of a third weekend. Children and a caregiver must be available for all performances and rehearsals beginning March 6, no exceptions. Auditions will take place in the LCP Studio Theatre on Saturday, February 22 from 1 p.m.–1:30 p.m. and 1:30-2 p.m.
The character of Lulu is a sweet and carefree 4-to-5-year-old who appears in the show’s final scene. Qualified young girls should be
shorter than 4’2” and between the ages of 4-6. Each audition is expected to take approximately 30 minutes, however timing may vary.
The audition will consist of the children engaging in dramatic play and group singing activities, with the possibility of reading two lines from the show. Prior acting experience is not required. Space is limited to the first 20 applicants to sign up. Sign up below.
Please note that Waitress contains adult content including staged domestic violence, simulated sex acts, and adult language. While none
of this takes place while Lulu is on stage, it is important for caregivers to be aware of the content of the show prior to auditioning. Additionally, as Lulu is in the final scene, this commitment will include several late nights. Please email Christine, Director of Operations, ccottam@lincolnplayhouse.com for any further questions.
