Greetings to a new day, a new month and new mercies!
It's time to announce the details for the next annual all-original, Broadway-like musical production - The Phantom of the Opera, based on the book by Gaston Leroux. This is a fresh new interpretation of the classic tale, told from a Christian perspective and with all-new original music.
Auditions will be held at Rockbrook United Methodist Church (9855 West Center Road) in Omaha, beginning this Saturday, July 6th, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Auditions will continue each Saturday through July and August. On Saturday, July 27th only, auditions will be from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. This will allow those who are unable to make the earlier audition times to audition. For those who are unable to make it to any of the auditions, an audition video will be acceptable.
Auditions are open to anyone who desires to participate, age 3 years to adult. No one will be turned away. Auditioners from age 10 to adult should be prepared to sing 32 or more bars of a favorite song, and possibly read from a script.
In order to help defray the costs of this production, and since all who audition are guaranteed a spot in the production, there is a non-refundable $50.00 entrance fee per student (age 3 through high school). The entrance fee is capped at $100.00 per family. Also, there is a refundable $50.00 Security Deposit per family. This Security Deposit will be refunded in January, provided the family has met all the production requirements. Please be prepared to pay the entrance fee and Security Deposit when you audition.
All auditioners should enter the building on the west side, lower level.
Roles will be announced at a later date, after all auditions are complete.
Rehearsals will begin on Friday, September 20, 2019, at Rockbrook UMC from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Rehearsals will be on Fridays through December 13th, and on Fridays and Saturdays (10:00 am to noon) starting January 3rd and 4th. Rehearsal times may be extended depending on production requirements, especially as the performance dates get near.
