Zanna, Don't! AUDITIONS High School & College
"Why is it a joke to ask for the same simple experiences everyone else can take for granted?" It was disturbing to me that even I had been conditioned to laugh at the thought of equality. I felt compelled to include some more sobering thoughts within the goofy exuberance of Zanna's world, as a reminder that there can be profound psychological and societal consequences when popular culture fails to include all of the population." --Tim Acito, Author
Welcome to Heartsville High, set in a world where everyone is gay--well, almost everyone! The big-man-on-campus is the chess champion, and the captain of the football team is made cool by being cast as the lead in the school musical. The students write a controversial show called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" about straight people in the military, which becomes the catalyst for a young man and woman to fall in love. Enter Zanna, a magical, musical fairy who, with a wave of his wand, brings true love to one and all!
Auditions & Call Backs: Sunday, October 6 at 6:00pm at The Performing Arts Connection. Please prepare one up tempo showtune in the style of Zanna, Don't! and bring a recent photo (or headshot) and resume. Students under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian present to sign a release. Everyone will sing as well as learn a short dance combination. Some will be asked to stay to read, dance or sing. The cast list will be announced via email by October 13.
