Additional 'Carrie' Auditions at Sherman Playhouse

The Sherman Players will hold ADDITIONAL auditions for their fall production of CARRIE: THE MUSICAL, directed by Bradford Blake with music direction by Charles Smith.

Additional Audition dates are Sunday July 10th from 6 pm – 9 pm and Monday July 11th from 6 pm – 9 pm at The Sherman Playhouse.

The production is looking for 6 MEN and 8 WOMEN to complete the cast, playing ages 16 to 65.
All roles are open and all ethnicities are welcome.

Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.

Set in the present in the small New England town of Chamberlain, Maine, CARRIE: THE MUSICAL features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen (screenwriter of the classic film), music by Academy Award winner Michael Gore (Fame, Terms of Endearment), and lyrics by Academy Award winner Dean Pitchford (Fame, Footloose). It is, of course, based on the novel by Stephen King.

All actors must provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 in order to audition.

The production will run September 30 – October 22 at the Sherman Playhouse, Sherman CT.
Dialogue sides will be available if the director asks you to stay and read something.

Headshots/photos and resumes are not required but gladly received. Please bring your availability schedule to the audition.

Please come prepared with a ballad and up-tempo that show your range.
Maximum 32 bars each. You may only be asked to sing one but please have the other as a back-up in case the director and music director need to hear more from you.

Be sure to bring sheet music in YOUR KEY. Your 32 bars should be clearly marked as to where to start and where to finish.

A pianist will be provided and all auditionees must sing with the piano accompaniment. No acappella and no recorded tracks will be permitted.

Please no charts, fake books, music on phones or tablets. Music should be in a binder or on no more than two loose separate sheets (no stapled music) so that it’s possible to set it on a standard music stand. If it is in a book, it needs to stay open when it’s on a music stand.
****PLEASE NOTE: If you have previously auditioned at out June auditions dates, no need to audition again. You are still under consideration*****
