St. Catherine’s Players announces audition calls for its 2018 production of Shrek The Musical. Open auditions will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 28 and Wednesday, Nov. 29 at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Lucey Parish Hall, 4 Riverside Ave.

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure. Shrek presents a treasure trove of creative opportunities, including costumes, sets, puppets (there is a fire-breathing dragon after all) and more.

This is the Broadway version of the show with mainly adult principals and an active ensemble of all ages. Children must be at least eight years old or in third grade. Elementary and middle school students should arrive at 7:30; high school students and adults should arrive at 8:30 p.m. Callbacks will be Thursday, Dec. 1, if needed. Come with a prepared song and sheet music in your key for the accompanist. A group dance audition will be held each evening; wear appropriate shoes. In addition, please bring a list of your rehearsal and production date conflicts (January through mid-March).

Rehearsals run Tuesday, Jan. 2 to March 1, 2018 and are held Monday through Thursday and some Sunday afternoons. Not all cast members are called for all rehearsals and times vary depending on role. Production dates are March 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11, 2018 with curtain times of Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 7 and Sundays at 2.

Lauren Nicole Sherwood will direct and provide musical staging, Zachary Kampler will provide music direction and conduct the orchestra, Melody Andersen will stage manage, Patricia Moran and Pasquale Spezzano will costume, Matthew Blank will choreograph, Bill Wright will direct set design and construction, and Allen Jackson will provide technical and lighting direction. Wendy Blumenthal and Jody Breakell are the producers of St. Catherine’s Players.
