What they are looking for
Prather Productions is seeking an African American male bari-tenor to play Drifter in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, the story of Carole King's rise as a songwriter. Travel in is December 28, followed by a short rehearsal period and a week of performances from January 5 to 10 at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Center in Fort Myers, Florida. This is a non-union production. It is paid: $500 per week, plus travel and per diem. Send a headshot, resume and a vocal reel by email. The listing does not give a closing date. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
The Drifters sang early sixties doo wop and soul, so a reel with a song from that era, like Up on the Roof or On Broadway, that shows clean high notes and blend will fit the role. With such a short rehearsal period they want someone who arrives nearly show ready, so mention it if you have done this musical or a touring production before. Before you send anything, make sure the holiday dates are open and ask how housing is handled.
How to apply to this casting call
- Check that you fit. Read the profile they want carefully, and it is based in Fort Myers, Florida, the United States.
