GUILD THEATREWORKS ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS
FOR THE JERSEY PREMIER OF A BROADWAY BOUND MUSICAL
In the summer of 1963, just before JFK is shot, before the Beatles
come to America and everything changes, three generations of women- and an assortment of friends- come together in a grand
battle Over The Boardwalk when their way of life is threatened by a ruthless developer.
Over The Boardwalk is a new Broadway- bound musical by Jersey-shore-raised Lou Ann K. Behan that
takes its audience “down the shore” to a beach boardwalk amusement pier where life gets as sticky
as the salt water taffy, and the characters as colorful as the plush animal prizes at the spinning wheel booth.
The Guild Theatreworks is presenting the New
Jersey premier of Over The Boardwalk this September as a backers preview showcase for future New
York productions. Auditions will take place at The Jersey Shore Arts Center on Main Street and Main Avenue at the entrance
to Ocean Grove on Thursday and Friday, June 19th and 20th at 7:30 p.m. and on Saturday morning,
June 21st at 10:00 a.m. Actors should prepare a short song demonstrating range and personality; come prepared
to dance and perform a cold reading from the script. All roles are open, and include 5 females and 4 males in the late teens
to early twenties; 2 females (late thirties to early forties), 1 African American male in his early twenties, 2 males between
forty and sixty years of age, 1 female in her mid-sixties and 2 nine or ten year old girls. An ensemble of a diversity of
types and races needed, and all roles require singing.
Show dates are September
19, 20, 21st and September, 26th, 27th and 28th at the Jersey Shore Arts Center.
