ROLSKA Productions will be holding auditions for its upcoming production of the new musical YOU BET YOUR LIFE! premiering at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa in July. The producers are looking for a strong female character actress with a clear vocal tone in the mezzo/alto range.
The story revolves around Jonny who is recently deceased. Having been hit by a car, he finds himself in a strange sort of purgatory: a 1980s styled game show called ‘You Bet Your Life!’. The host acts as ringmaster interviewing Jonny and playing various clips from his life based on which the audience decide whether Jonny is a man of good character.
The female candidate should be versatile as she will be required to play a variety of parts during the course of the show including Jonny’s mother, girlfriend, piano teacher, a high powered executive and a showgirl.
Auditions will be on the 13th of April starting at 10AM at the Waterfront Theatre School. Please prepare one song of your own choice and “I've Got Jonny” which can be downloaded in PDF format at
www.rolska.com. Please bring sheet music for your own song in the correct key to the audition.
Rehearsals are in Cape Town on weekdays, in the evenings, from the 2nd of June and on Saturday afternoons. Performances in Grahamstown from 1 - 13 July. Please e-mail Roland Perold of ROLSKA productions at
rperold@gmail.com to book an audition slot or for more information.
