The Marion Art Center announces auditions for its upcoming production of Lionel Bart’s musical Oliver.
Auditions for all roles will be held June 7 and June 9 from 3:00 to 7:00 pm by appointment only on those dates. Please call The Marion Art Center at 508-748-1266 to schedule an audition time on either June 7 or June 9. Callbacks, if needed, will be held on June 14, beginning at 5:00 pm.
All auditions will be held at The Marion Art Center, located at 80 Pleasant Street, Marion. Those auditioning are asked to sing 16 bars of “Consider Yourself.” There will also be a short dance combination taught to determine movement and dance abilities.
Those auditioning for Oliver and the Artful Dodger must be able to dance and move very well. For those auditioning for all other orphans and main adult characters, no dance training is necessary; however, those individuals should be able to move and pick up choreography quickly.
The show is being directed by Jamie Wiksten and musically directed by Cassandra Morgan. Rehearsals begin the end of August and the performances will be held November 3-6 at the Art Center.
