FOR THE REGIONAL PREMIERE OF
THE ADULT MUSICAL COMEDY
"BUKOWSICAL"
ST. LOUIS, MO . . . Open auditions for New Line Theatre's regional premiere of the adult musical comedy BUKOWSICAL will be held on Monday, March 11 and Tuesday, March 19, at 7:00 p.m. at the Washington University South Campus building (formerly CBC High School), 6501 Clayton Road, just east of Big Bend, in the second floor theatre. This is NOT on the Washington University main campus. Performers need to come to only one of the dates. The show will run twelve performances over four weeks, May 30-June 22, 2013.
New Line is looking for a multi-racial cast of 8 adult men and women. We do not cast anyone under 17. New Line is looking for intelligent singing actors who are willing to take risks onstage. Performers are asked to bring a prepared contemporary theatre song, with printed piano music for our pianist (no tapes and no a cappella). There will be a dance audition. Performers may also be asked to sing from the score.
Rehearsals for Bukowsical will begin in early April, on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. for the first part of our process, and then on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings the last couple weeks, plus every night the week the show opens. Rehearsals are at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in St. Louis Hills. Performances are at the Washington University South Campus Theatre, 6501 Clayton Road. Performers will share a guaranteed 10% of box office receipts.
No appointments are necessary. All performers should arrive for the audition before 7:00 p.m. New Line is a non-union professional theatre company and is always very eager to find multi-racial casts.

Actors who have performed with New Line Theatre during the last eighteen months don't have to audition for us. They just have to contact artistic director Scott Miller before the last night of auditions to tell him that they want to be considered.
ABOUT NEW LINE THEATRE
New Line Theatre is a professional company dedicated to involving the people of the St. Louis region in the exploration and creation of daring, provocative, socially and politically relevant works of musical theatre. New Line was created back in 1991 at the vanguard of a new wave of nonprofit musical theatre taking hold across the country. New Line has given birth to several world premiere musicals over the years and has brought back to life several shows that did not do well in their original New York productions. Altogether, New Line has produced 69 musicals and 5 concerts of theatre songs since 1991. New Line Theatre was recently given its own entry in the latest edition of the Cambridge Guide to American Theatre. New Line receives funding from the Regional Arts Commission, the Fox Performing Arts Charitable Foundation, and the Missouri Arts Council. For more about New Line, go to
