ABOUT THE ROLES: (See Godspell Character Breakdown Info also)

Seeking a cast of 10-20 male and female actors, age 16 and older.

While the original cast was broken down into 5 male and 5 female actors, the production will be open to casting differently than those gendered roles. Additional ensemble roles may be added at director’s discretion.

​

ABOUT THE SHOW: A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling, comedic timing and an eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville. Beginning with Jesus’ Baptism and hopeful teachings, then dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.

 

ABOUT THE AUDITIONS: Tuesday and Wednesday auditions will consist of singing and dancing. Callbacks will include cold reading(s) and/or additional singing and dancing.  Actors will be taught a song and dance routine during Tuesday and Wednesday auditions. Be prepared to dance with proper shoes and clothing. This is a HIGH ENERGY production requiring strong vocalists and character work and the ability to MOVE!
