Hole in the Wall Theater is excited to announce auditions for Lint! The Musical written by William Arnold and Scott Auden, directed by The DeMarcos.
Auditions will be held Sunday, November 15 and Monday, November 16 at 7pm at the theater.
Synopsis: Phoebe’s got a problem… No matter where she goes, no matter what she does, she is constantly finding herself in a musical. While this wouldn’t be a problem to some folks, Phoebe tries to escape by taking a job in a laundromat. Everything is fine until one day Phoebe looks up and sees the audience, the lights, everything. Biz, Fab, and Cheer; three muses rise up out of the washers and explain to Phoebe that there is no escaping this musical until she finishes the show and follows the rules to get there.
Auditioners are requested to prepare 32 bars of an uptempo, contemporary style song – both musical theater songs and non-musical theater songs are welcome. The audition will also consist of sides from the script, but actors are also welcome to prepare a 1 minute comedic monologue.
