Audition information for Pickerington Community Theatre’s spring production of “Something Rotten" (unpaid, non-union).ABOUT THE SHOW:
Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten. Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
Open auditions will be held Friday April 24th and Saturday April 25th. Auditions will be held Epiphany Lutheran Church located at 268 Hill Road N. Pickerington, OH 43147.

THE AUDITION PROCESS:

Auditions will consist of a music audition and (if you are auditioning for a speaking role) a cold reading audition. Please prepare a song excerpt (approx. 1-2 minutes) for your music audition. Music should be Broadway or Jazz Standard style, but NOT a song from Something Rotten. You may bring your phone with lyrics, a CD, or sheet music for our accompanist. The Director requests that you do not sing a capella.
