Sierra Repertory Theater holding auditions for - Gypsy

10-27-12
SIERRA REP AUDITIONS: GYPSY

WHAT: AUDITIONS FOR GYSPY, Directed By Scott Viets

WHO: SEEKING 4 YOUNG BOYS (AGES 9-14)

The boys should be able to dance, or at least move well, and take direction well.   No previous theatrical necessary, but helpful.   

ONE GIRL (Ages 8-12), for the pivotal role of “Baby June”

For “Baby June”, the demands are much greater.   The little girl  must be a “triple threat” – highly charismatic dancer/singer/actor who may also have gymnastic abilities (ability to do the splits a plus).   The story takes place in the world of vaudeville and “Baby June” is the star of her own act, with boys as a back-up chorus.
