Many of the chorus roles will also be doubling with the smaller speaking roles. The larger crowd scenes will be beefed up with as many singers as possible! Adults, please bring and be prepared to sing one upbeat song. Ken may also ask to hear something from the show. If so, he will teach on the spot. We will be auditioning from sides from the script. Please be familiar with the story.
