Cotuit Center for the Arts Holds CABARET Auditions, 5/19 & 21

Director Kiley Donovan, Music Director Glenn Starner-Tate, and Choreographer Pam Wills will be holding auditions for this summer's production of CABARET at Cotuit Center for the Arts, running August 2 to 26 from Thursday to Sunday.

Audition Dates: Saturday, May 19, 12 - 3 p.m. and Monday, May 21, 6:30 - 9:30 p.m.

Auditions will be held at Cotuit's rehearsal space near Roche Brothers in Mashpee (South Cape Village). The address is 6 Joy Street, and here is the map link. The space is a storefront between South Cape Wine & Spirits and South Cape Village Hair and Spa.

Arrive at the indicated start time and wear clothes for movement. The audition will consist of group song, individual "voice checks", group dance (especially important for Ensemble roles, Emcee, and Sally), and reading of sides. Actors auditioning for one of the principal roles will stay after the group rehearsal; please prepare an appropriate piece and bring the accompanying music for piano. Auditioners are asked to bring any schedule conflicts to auditions.
