All roles in the show are open to anyone from age thirteen to adult. Please come prepared with a song of your choice (accompanist provided) or to sing a piece from the show.

BOOTHBAY HARBOR:
Auditions for two of the Boothbay Playhouse 2012 summer shows, Urinetown and Once Upon A Mattress, will take place on Thursday, February 16, from 6 to 9pm, in the Coastal Club room of the Boothbay Region YMCA. Auditions are by appointment, which can be made by calling Susan at 207 633-6309 or by emailing: boothbayplayhouse@yahoo.com.  Auditions for both shows will take place on the same day. People may audition for either one or both of the shows and should bring sheet music for the song that they will be singing, an accompanist will be provided. Auditioners should bring their calendar as they will be asked to note any potential scheduling conflicts so that a specific rehearsal schedule can be made available after auditions. Children may join the shows without auditioning. Children age 12 and older are welcome to join the cast of "Urinetown". Children of all ages are welcome to join the cast of "Once Upon A Mattress" but they must be able to be responsible for themselves both on and off-stage, or be joined by a parent. ALL children wishing to be in the shows must fill out an audition form. Please email for the form, or stop by on audition night to fill one out.  URINETOWN - Shows June 28, 29, 30, July 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 and 14. Rehearsal will begin in May. Rated PG, if ever a show exemplified the saying, "never judge a book by it's title", Urinetown is that show. Nominated for 10 Tony Awards and winner of 3, it is a witty, uproariously funny, irreverent, and thoroughly entertaining toe-tapper that takes jabs at the legal system, capitalism, corrupt corporation, waste in terms of the environment and our sense of entitlement (amongst other things). Urinetown takes place in a world where a drought has caused water to be rationed to the point that there is a ban on private toilets and everyone must pay for the "privilege to pee". Love sparks between a worker at one of the filthiest low-income amenities and the wealthy daughter of the man who runs the Urine Good Company, which controls the fee-based facilities. A revolution is started, and a battle ensues between those arguing for regulated conservation of the available resources and those fighting for personal freedoms. Of course, this tale is told with generous portions of wit and wonderfully engaging songs.
ONCE UPON A MATTRESS - Shows: August 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17 and 18. Rehearsals will begin in July. If you thought you knew the story of 'The Princess and The Pea,' you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. For more information email boothbayplayhouse@yahoo.com, or phone Susan at 207 633-6309.
