Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.
Set in the present in the small New England town of Chamberlain, Maine, CARRIE: THE MUSICAL features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen (screenwriter of the classic film), music by Academy Award winner Michael Gore (Fame, Terms of Endearment), and lyrics by Academy Award winner Dean Pitchford (Fame, Footloose).
All actors must provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 in order to audition.
Prepare a ballad and an up-tempo 16-32 bar song that shows off your voice, and bring clearly marked sheet music in the appropriate key. You may only be asked to sing one but please have the other as a back-up in case the director and music director need to hear more from you. An accompanist will be provided. No a cappella and no recorded tracks will be permitted.
Dialogue sides will be available if the director asks you to stay and read something.
Headshots/photos and resumes are not required but gladly received. Please bring your availability schedule to the audition.
