Auditions for orchestra pit for HAIRSPRAY

Bedford Community Theatre announces auditions for the Pit Band for its November production of Hairspray.  Auditions will be held on Tuesday, October 11th at 6 pm. 

Based on the 1988 John Waters film of the same name, HAIRSPRAY takes place in racially segregated 1962 Baltimore. It tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a teenager with a big heart, a big hairdo and a figure to match. Tracy dreams of dancing in "The Corny Collins Show" - a local teen dance show a la "American Bandstand" - but is told she won’t “fit in”.  Tracy then befriends Seaweed J. Stubbs, a dancer in the monthly "Negro Day" on the show, and they work together to break through the biases of both race and physical appearance.

HAIRSPRAY boasts a rousing 60's inspired score, terrific dancing and an uplifting message about accepting people for who they are.

 The following instrumental parts are needed:  Reed 1, Reed 2, Guitar, Brass, Strings.  Reed players must be able to double on Alto/Tenor Sax, Flute and Clarinet.  Please be prepared to sight read.  Note:  Musicians may not be used if an entire section for a particular instrument cannot be filled.

Performance dates are November 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20

Required Rehearsals November 6, 8, 9, 10
