Registration is open for the Parade audition workshop on Monday, December 16, and Tuesday, December 17, 2024 at 7pm in the Carver Center.

Have you ever felt misunderstood by everyone around you? How do you overcome untruths in a legal system that seems to be set against proving your innocence? The Tony-award-winning musical, Parade, is set in 1913. Leo Frank, a Jewish Brooklyn native residing in rural Georgia, finds himself on trial for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, a girl under his employ at a local pencil factory. With a soaring score by Jason Robert Brown and book by Alfred Uhry, Parade delivers a powerful message about religious intolerance, social injustice, and the resilience of love in the face of insurmountable odds.

At the Parade workshop, you will learn from the production team what you need to know to be successful at the auditions. This show is directed by Mike Artis, choreographed by Sara Sherman, and music directed by Marie McColley-Kerstetter. Auditions are set for Sunday, January 5 and Monday, January 6, 2025. There are 3-5 roles written specifically for black actors; all other roles are open to anyone over the age of 16.
