Mrs. Wheeler, Erica Sinclair, Robin Buckley, Mr. Clarke, Eight, Heather Chandler, Amy March, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Mad Scientists, Trees, and other fun ensemble roles.
We are looking for actors aged 15-40s. And of all ethnicities and genders.
There are no non-singing roles in this show.
There are also no non-dancing roles in this show.
●
No experience or preparation is required to audition, however, being familiar with the song Welcome to Hawkins will help you as Alex will not spend much time teaching the song at auditions, he will only play through it a few times as a group before individual vocal auditions begin. Same situation for callbacks. If you audition the first day then we will let you know later that evening if you received a callback and which character you are being called back for so that you can look at that material before callbacks on Wednesday.
