Audition Notice: The Pirates of Penzance [Musical Theatre]


AUDITIONS FOR THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE By Gilbert and Sullivan

Directed by Paige Fossheim
Music Direction by Stefanie Barnfather
Choreography by Karen Iwanski
At the Pumphouse Theatre May 1 to 16, 2020

For more information (including character descriptions), or to book an audition, visit www.morpheustheatre.ca, call 403-246-2999 or e-mail audition@morpheustheatre.ca

Strike up the band for one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most beloved operettas! The Pirates of Penzance combines whimsy, light-hearted satire and piratical characters with stirring music, including the iconic "Major-General's Song". This is the play that cemented the comic-pirate theme in popular culture, a theme that has lasted through more than a century and spawned countless movies and novels. Jam-packed with sentimental, swashbuckling pirates, a completely dotty Major General and a bumbling bunch of hopeless but hilarious policemen, what could possibly go wrong? To add to the topsy-turvy nature of G&S, Morpheus will be flipping the genders of all your favourite characters.

Open auditions for all roles will take place:
Tuesday January 7th (7:00 to 9:30pm)
Thursday January 9th (7:00 to 9:30pm)
Sunday January 12th (1:00 to 4:00pm)
At the Morpheus Rehearsal Centre, 3512 5 Avenue NW (lower level of the Parkdale Community Centre)

Callbacks, if required, will take place on Tuesday January 14th from 7:00 to 10:00pm.

Audition Requirements:
  • A prepared song to highlight your vocal abilities (approximately 2 minutes long, not from The Pirates of Penzance)
  • Auditioners will need to provide their own music track.  Please email your music at least 48 hours prior to your audition to audition@morpheustheatre.ca  It is recommended that you also bring your music on an MP3 player. Acapella auditions are also welcome.
