NPT seeks female performer to play “Rusty” in FOOTLOOSE

New Paradigm Theatre (NPT) a company well-known for its inventive productions with multi-cultural and multi-generational casting is accepting video submissions for a talent search competition to cast a leading role in their August production of FOOTLOOSE.
“RUSTY” (the role made famous in the movie by Sarah Jessica Parker) must have incredible vocal talent and stage presence. Performers 16+ may submit. The finalists chosen from these videos will be featured at NPT’s May Gala in a “live callback” and will be voted on by the audience! The winner will be hired (if over 18 years old) or given free tuition (if ages 16-18 years old) to play the role. Last year’s chosen winner, Cameron Burrill (cast as “Conrad Birdie”) says “It was the most fun I had ever had at an audition. NPT made e feel like an absolute rockstar and getting to feel a live audience in an audition is a rare experience. After I won, the chance to work with everyone from Broadway pros to new up and comers was the opportunity of a lifetime and so unique”.
Casting for additional adult roles will take place in the spring with dates in CT and NYC TBD. The youth/teen roles will be cast from students enrolled in the summer experience, which also includes conservatory-level class in film and TV, theatre, voice-over, commercials as well as rehearsals with our professionals.
