Additional Auditions for Schoolhouse Rock Live! on Saturday, May 21 at 4pm

The Elden Street Players, an all-volunteer community theater company in Herndon VA, will hold additional auditions for Schoolhouse Rock Live! on Saturday, May 21 at 4pm.

Based on the Emmy Award winning Saturday morning cartoon series that ran 1973-1985 this lively musical contains such well known songs as “Conjunction Junction”, “Just A Bill”, and “Interjections”. The new teacher is nervous about the first day of school. Turning on the TV to relax, the various characters from Schoolhouse rock emerge into the living room in order to remind us that it can be fun to learn.

The cast will consist of an ensemble of up to 10 persons, aged 16 and up. We’re looking for people who are quick-witted, enthusiastic and energized. We are especially looking for people who move well in high energy dance and choreographed movements around the stage. So come dressed for MOVEMENT.

For auditions please prepare no more than 32 measures of music from one of the styles of music in the show: Rock, Jazz, Gospel or Broadway. Bring sheet music, an accompanist will be provided.

Auditions will take place on Saturday, May 21, 4 – 6 pm at the Industrial Strength Theater, 269 Sunset Park Dr., Herndon VA.
