Sea Glass Stage Company is thrilled to announce auditions for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a hilarious and heartwarming musical comedy featuring a group of quirky middle schoolers (played by adults) competing for the ultimate prize—a county spelling bee championship!
Audition Dates: May 10th and 12th
Show Dates: July 11th - August 3rd
Vocal Audition: At auditions, you will sing the Finale with the provided track. When the voices divide, you should sing your designated part: sopranos and tenors will sing the top note, baritones will sing the middle note, and altos and basses will sing the bottom note. If you would like to prepare an additional 16 bars of the start of a song from the show, you are welcome to, but it is not required.
In addition to the vocal auditions, you will be reading scenes from the show (download sides below) and will learn and perform a short dance combo. Please wear comfortable clothes and closed-toed shoes!
