AUDITIONING FOR THE LAMPLIGHTERS
Our next auditions will be held in early fall for Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe. Please come back to this page
closer to those dates to check for particulars, or sign up on our email list at the address below.
We hold open
auditions two to three times a year for all principal and chorus roles. In
general, we are looking for strong singer/actors. Experience in Gilbert & Sullivan not necessary if you can sing
and act the role.
Some roles may be double-cast
or understudied. Some shows/roles require better movement
skills than others.
All auditions
are by appointment only. We ask that you come to the preliminary
audition with one song in English, preferably from opera or operetta,
that you feel will show off your voice well. It is wise to
choose material of about two to three minutes in length. An
accompanist will be provided. Bring your music in the key in
which you will sing it. Please bring your calendar so that you
can give us any conflicts that you may have during the rehearsal period.
REHEARSALS:
Rehearsals are weekday
evenings and weekends.
A tentative schedule will be
available at the preliminary auditions, and more detail will be provided as soon
as available.
The
Lamplighters is a non-profit, professional company. Principal singers are offered a flat fee for a role, usually in
the range of $300 - $750.
Chorus members are eligible
for a small stipend to help offset costs such as purchasing a score, tights and
footwear, voice lessons, travel and coaching, etc.
