Pistarckle Theater announces auditions for “Rent,” the winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. “Rent” has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. Set in the East Village of New York City, it is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today.
The musical follows a year in the life of a group of friends struggling to make it in the big city. They include Mark, a filmmaker and the narrator of the story; his former girlfriend, Maureen, a performance artist; Maureen’s lover, Joanne, a public interest lawyer; Mark’s roommate Roger, a musician; Mimi, an exotic dancer, with whom Roger falls in love; Tom Collins, a computer genius; Collins’ lover, Angel, a street musician and drag queen; and Benny, a former member of the group, who, after marrying
into a wealthy family, has become their landlord. A Chorus of six additional singers completes the cast.
How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.
A multi-racial/multi-ethnic cast is required. Singers need to move well, but minimal dancing is required. Singers should come with a prepared song, preferably a rock n roll piece and sheet music. An accompanist will be available.
Auditions are from 3-5 p.m. on Sunday, June 12, at The Pistarckle Theater in Tillet Gardens. For more information, call the theater at 775-7877.
