Wheaton Drama Announces Auditions For Chicago

Wheaton Drama, Inc. (WDI) announces auditions for its 2009-2010 season finale, Chicago. With music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, this sexy and satirical look at celebrity criminals is based on stories reported by 1920s Chicago journalist Maurine Dallas Watkins.

Craig Gustafson is directing. Genevieve Pastore and Steve Schroeder are the production managers. Sue Kinney-Watschke is the musical director and Tracy Adams is the choreographer.

Auditions are at 7pm on Sunday, March 28 and Monday, March 29 at Playhouse 111, 111 N. Hale Street in downtown Wheaton, Illinois.

In order to best utilize the time of actors auditioning for Chicago, auditions are by appointment only. The process is as follows:

1. Actors will be scheduled for either Sunday, March 28 or Monday, March 29 (actor choice, unless a date is full).

2. Actors will be assigned a call time, either 7, 8 or 9pm.

3. Actors will be assigned to a group and will spend 20 minutes in the dance audition, 20 minutes in the singing audition and 20 minutes in the reading audition. Everyone who attends will get to read.

4. Those cast or called back will be called by noon on Tuesday. Actors who are not cast or called back will be contacted by e-mail. Callbacks (or further auditions, if needed) will be on Tuesday, March 30.

5. Walk-ins might be seen on Sunday and Monday beginning at 10pm, depending on how busy auditions are, so having an appointment is advised.

To schedule an appointment: BEGINNING SUNDAY, MARCH 14 (and not before), please email http://us.mc656.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=WDIChicago@comcast.net - WDIChicago@comcast.net . Please state your name and which day you would like to audition. Attaching a headshot and resume is acceptable but not required. Details on what you will need to sing and read will be provided when your appointment is scheduled.
