What they are looking for
Oracle Theatre Company, a community theatre making its New York City debut, is casting The Pursuit of Happiness, a cabaret of songs about the beauty of life and getting back up after every setback. The show is Wednesday, January 13, 2027 at 9:30 pm at 54 Below, with one virtual rehearsal, one or two in person rehearsals in NYC and a soundcheck that afternoon. Submit a cut of about 32 bars from their song list, or pitch another song that fits the theme; duos and trios are welcome to submit together. Include a headshot and resume. It is non-union. The listing does not mention pay. Submissions close December 6. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Listen to the song list they share on YouTube before you choose: if you pitch your own pick, it should be about carrying on, since that is the theme. In cabaret, the story you tell through the song matters more than your top note, so record your cut looking into the lens as if you were singing to someone. If you have a duet partner, you can submit together. Ask whether there is any pay before you lock in the date.
