Live blog from the cast of Calgary's "Hairspray: The Broadway Musical"! Summerstock is the only live outdoor musical theatre company in all of Calgary. Each summer, students from all over Calgary present professional quality Broadway musical theatre in the downtown core at Olympic Plaza. This not-for-profit organization supports these young actors, provides scholarships and gives them a venue to showcase their talent.
It’s never too late to join Summerstock! Well, two weeks before the show could be, but stranger things have happened. We’re constantly auditioning for the show, so yes, you definitely have a good chance at being in the show. C’mon down to a rehearsal and check us out!
At Summerstock, auditions work a little different than you might be used to. If you’re accepted, we’ll invite you to an open class with the other students where you’ll learn choreography and/or vocals, which is a large part of your actual audition. Our directors are always watching! Auditions for specific lead roles will happen sometime between late January-February.
I’m sure you’ll find out eventually…
Awesome, we’d love to see you join! Our rehearsal space is actually changing for the 2012 season, so hopefully it’s closer to you! While we still perform at Olympic Plaza, auditions and dance rehearsals begin in November in NW Calgary. In our partnership with Westmount Charter School, we’ll be working out of their space at 2215 Uxbridge Dr NW, the former William Van Horne High School.
Hi there!
We’re always interesting in auditioning new talent! There have been ideas thrown around for our 2012 season, but it has not been confirmed or announced yet. The easiest way to find out is by staying tuned to our official website at www.summerstock.ca for more information in October.
And although auditions don’t begin until late October of this year, you can still email director@summerstock.ca with your first and last name, email address, telephone number and age to be placed on our “call list” once auditions come around.
Good luck!
