A CHORUS LINE
Auditions are open to anyone in grades 8th - college.
**Please note this is a double cast show**
Chorus Line Description:
A Chorus Line is a stunning concept musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway ensemble audition. Exploring the inner lives and bittersweet ambitions of professional Broadway performers, the show features one powerhouse number after another, including “What I Did for Love,” “One,” “I Can Do That,” “At the Ballet,” “The Music and the Mirror” and “I Hope I Get It.” A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance and compellingly authentic drama, A Chorus Line was instantly recognized as a classic.
Content Advisory – A Chorus Line:
A Chorus Line contains mature themes and PG-13 subject matter. Throughout the show, characters share deeply personal stories and experiences, including discussions of puberty, sexuality, family relationships, identity, body image, trauma and other sensitive topics. The script also contains occasional strong language and adult humor.
Auditioners should be aware of this content before participating in the production process. Accommodations and adjustments will be considered whenever possible for performers who communicate concerns during auditions or callbacks.
Please note that certain roles—including Val, Paul, Richie, and Gregory—contain non-negotiable dialogue and subject matter that are essential to the script and cannot be altered or omitted.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the material, we encourage you to speak with the production team during at the audition workshop
