PREPARATION - PERFORMERS:
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and a 16 bar (or 1 minute) selection from a song in a similar style from another show. You may sing either a cappella or with a backing track on your device.
Monologues are not required but are welcome.
Special Considerations:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a physically driven, storytelling-focused production. All performers auditioning for this show should be in strong physical condition. Most roles require a range of larger-than-life dancing and expressive physical acting. Some performers may be asked to climb, work on elevated structures, or wear large or restrictive costumes that limit visibility and movement. RST is seeking kind, hardworking, team-oriented actors and singers who are physically agile and can fully commit to portraying these iconic characters with energy, color, and enthusiasm. A strong sense of comedic timing grounded in truth and humanity is essential. Please see below for additional details about specific roles and ensemble expectations.
