Northlight Theatre

Souvenier-Understudy

Category: Non-Equity Audition
Pay: Flat Stipend (around $500)

Description:
Northlight Theatre is looking for two understudies:

The man needs to be a terrific piano player/accompanist. He also needs to do half the acting in the show. 30s or 40s. (although we would consider fellas in their 20s or 50s)

The woman needs to be 40s+ and have a beautiful soprano voice, but also must sing off-key for much of the show. It's Florence Foster Jenkins. The actress has to carry the show, acting-wise and also as a singer.

The comedic and musical is a true story of Florence Foster-Jenkins: a New York socialite whose tin ear couldn't keep her off the stage at Carnegie Hall. Seen through the eyes of her beloved accompanist, Souvenir is a touching and comic tribute to Ms. Jenkins' sincerity, ambition, deep love of music and complete lack of talent, all of which brought a very unique joy to thousands.

Northlight is a LORT C theatre. This show is being directed by Goodman Theatre Associate Producer Steve Scott.

Time Commitment:
Understudies have afternoon rehearsals once the show is open (Nov 22) and attend tech and previews (approx. Nov 7 through 21).

Material To Prepare:
Please send headshot/resume ASAP via email or mail.
