Dear “The Music Man" Auditioner:

Thank you for taking time to audition for "The Music Man." All of us on the audition committee are grateful for the time you invested in being with us to make a memorable audition presentation.

Be assured that your efforts and patience are most appreciated.  Know that your audition was carefully considered.  Due to the nature of the production and live theatre, not all that auditioned are able to be cast.

Please know that many factors go into the final selection – and such factors have absolutely no bearing on your intrinsic worth as a person or your basic talent as a performer.  In fact, some factors that go into casting are simply beyond your (and our) control, regardless of the caliber of the audition: such factors as character types required by the script, and mundane matters such as age ranges needed, stage space, heights of certain performers, the mix of individuals needed for certain scenes, etc.  

It has been an honor to have you participate in our audition process.  We hope you will consider auditioning again in the future.  Upcoming audition dates and titles will be announced at our Season Premiere Celebration on July 13.

If you have been cast in the production please send an email to manestage@manestagetheatre.com to verify that you have viewed the cast list and will be attending the cast orientation.   Orientation will be held on Wednesday,  May 22, from 6:00 – 9:30 p.m. at the Sumner Performing Arts Center.  Unless previous arrangements have been made, cast members must attend orientation and all rehearsals or their role will be re-cast.
