Auditions will be held Wednesday 10/31, Thursday 11/1, and Friday 11/2 from 3:30-6:00pm in the Pauli Murray Lighten Theater.
All performers are invited to audition regardless of racial, ethnic, or gender identity. As a new and completely original musical, My World will be deeply shaped by the cast, creative team, and production team involved, so we are looking for cast members who are excited and motivated to help create this unique and original work of theater.
Please prepare a 32-bar (45-60 second) cut of a contemporary musical theater song. You may sing a cappella, but a piano accompaniment will also be provided. After you sing for us, we will ask you to read a short excerpt from one of the scenes from the show, which will be provided for you.
The creative team understands that portraying a disability such as autism on stage must be handled with great care. With that in mind, the creative journey of this production will be a collaborative process in which actors, the director, and the production staff conduct research and engage in conversations regarding our approach to the topic.
