About the show:
Assassins, is a journey through the dark side of the American dream. Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's Tony-winning musical Assassins has a haunting score and narrative that explores the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or attempted to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, the rules of time and space are bent, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to attempt their harrowing acts in the name of “the American Dream.”

NOTE: Assassins contains strong language, adult themes, prop guns, political imagery and themes related to gun violence and the use of a racial slur. The production also may utilize flashing lighting effects, projection media and possibly the use of theatrical haze and smoke (tbd).

• All roles are open for audition, along with female and male understudies selected from the ensemble. If you receive an ensemble role, you may be asked to understudy other specific roles, although there is no guarantee of a performance opportunity for that role.

• The directors are open to considering non-male actors for some male characters.

• Callbacks, if needed, are scheduled for December 16th 6pm - 9pm

To Audition: Depending on your preferred roles, please either prepare the provided song excerpts or choose 32 measures from a song that highlights your vocal range in a comparable style. (If you opt for a song of your choice, ensure that you have the sheet music ready and organized in a binder.) Piano accompaniment will be provided.
Additionally, please prepare a monologue from the supplied sides; memorization is not necessary.

Please look at all character descriptions and review the sides before auditioning. Actors may be asked to read for multiple roles. If an actor is only interested in one specific role, the director should be reminded during auditions. 

The Station Theatre strives to make our productions open to all levels of actors regardless of experience.  We aim to make the audition experience a fun and relaxed experience.

Rehearsals: First official rehearsal will be January 21st. Rehearsals will tentatively run Monday-Thursday, 6pm-9pm (subject to change pending casting). We will aim to work individually on some vocal parts in late December early January before the first scheduled rehearsal.

Conflicts: Please list all conflicts between December 27 - April 13th  (only needed after 5pm M-Th, all day for Saturday & Sunday) on your audition form.
