Sunday in the Park With George is about two artists, living 100 years apart, who are trying to reconcile their passion for creating art with how to live in the world around them. In Act One, set in 1884, painter Georges Seurat pushes away the people in his world (most notably his lover Dot) while creating his pointillist masterpiece Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte.
In Act Two, 100 years later, his great grandson, also an artist, struggles to rediscover his passion and creativity after being stuck in a rut of expectation and commerce.
4th Wall’s production will be presented in concert format, without costumes or sets, and will focus on the journeys of all of the characters, the glorious Sondheim score and the universality of the story.
We are seeking 15-20 very strong singers/actors, most of whom will play significant roles in both acts; the tracks and doubling listed below may change depending on who is cast.
All roles are open.
Non-traditional casting will be strongly considered.
Prepare two contrasting 32-bar selections from classic musical theatre songs that show off your voice in the range and style of the character(s) you are auditioning for.
Bring sheet music in your key; if you bring a Sondheim song, make sure your music is clearly copied and marked. An accompanist will be provided.
Also bring a headshot and resume stapled together.
Be prepared to provide all potential conflicts for evening and weekend rehearsals beginning November 30. No pay.
