Carrollwood Cultural Center and show director Paul Berg will hold auditions for Sunday in the Park with George. Inspired by “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” by George Seurat, this musical by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim, with orchestrations by Michael Starobin, brings Seurat’s painting to life on stage. Sunday in the Park with George was produced initially on Broadway by The Shubert Organization and Emanuel Azenberg by arrangement with Playwrights Horizon, Inc. New York City, which produced the original production of Sunday in The Park With George in 1983.
Please be prepared to sing 16 bars from a musical. You may use a Sondheim song from any of his other musicals. An accompanist will be provided, but you are also welcome to sing with a track you bring. You may also be asked to sing songs from the production during the rehearsal process. Video submissions are also welcome. Please send videos to auditions@carrollwoodcenter.org.
