Auditions for the classic holiday musical "White Christmas" are coming up this weekend! Director Bob Garrigues gives some advice for potential cast members.
GCP Girl: Why did you want to direct "White Christmas"?
BG: "White Christmas" is a show I have known for a long time. It is a lovely presentation with great themes, and is just perfect for the Christmas holidays. I love to work with Ted Lewis and look forward to mounting this show. We did “Singing in the Rain” together and had a glorious time.
GCP Girl: What is your vision for this show?
BG: My vision is to tell the story of comradeship, love and Christmas in all its wonderment. We want to present all the ingredients of stage craft that make a show visually appealing. With the help of the talented Carol McCoy, we will bring great music and performance to the Vam York stage.
GCP Girl: Why should people audition for this show?
BG: You will be treated in a professional fashion, be a part of a great show, and have a wonderful experience.
GCP Girl: Is there anything specific you are looking for in the actors who audition? If someone wants to impress you, what should she or he do?
BG: Talent, natural, willingness to work and be a team player. Just be yourself -- no pretenses and false airs.
GCP Girl: Any songs you do NOT want to hear?
BG: Sing what you would like and that demonstrates best your talent and skills. I hate “Tits and Ass” from "A Chorus Line."
GCP Girl: Anything you'd like to add?
BG: Please come and let us get to see and hear you. Everyone will have an equal opportunity.
Thanks, Bob! Auditions are Sunday, September 16 and Monday, September 17 at 7 p.m. at the Vam York Theater. For more general audition tips, check out this post. See you there!
