Carrollwood Players Theatre announces open auditions and offstage production opportunities for:
9 to 5 - The Musical
Book by Patricia Resnick
Music and Lyrics by Dolly Parton
A CWP Mainstage Musical Production
Directed by Thomas Pahl
Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic.
Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss.
In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?

What to Prepare:
Auditions will consist of vocal, dance, and acting components. (Due to time constraints, the acting component may be reserved for call backs.)
Vocals:
Please prepare close to, but no longer than, a 60 second cut of a musical theatre song in the style of the show that showcases your range and acting skills. Please bring an mp3 track or youtube karaoke track cued up on your phone/smart device. No A CAPPELLA or sheet music auditions. An accompanist will NOT be provided.
Dancing:
The dance session will include learning a brief dance combo. If you have any dance training or can safely perform any acro tricks, please note on the form. Time will be reserved at the end of the dance call for these specialized dancers. Please wear appropriate clothing and shoes.
Acting:
The acting portion of the audition will include cold readings from the script. We will be looking for truthfulness, peppiness, and high interpretation. The acting component may be reserved for callbacks only.
