Male Actor Sought for
The Company Theatre’s World Premiere of
Paragon Park the Musical
The Company Theatre Centre for the Arts seeks a male actor in the tenor vocal range, age 18-30, to play “Rinaldo” in the world premiere Paragon Park the Musical. Described as a romantic Italian immigrant, the character is portrayed as a proud gondolier, loyal to his family and country, willing to live in a new land. Knowledge of Italian language is very helpful. Equity guest artists will be considered, salary is negotiable.
Audition candidates should prepare to sing an authentic musical theatre selection, such as repertoire from Rodgers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Gershwin, or contemporary musical theatre composers. To request an audition, please email a headshot and resume to Zoe Bradford at
zoe@companytheatre.com.
A grand-scale musical drama with vast aspirations, Paragon Park the Musical premieres from July 27 through August 19. The original work has been in development for more than three years, locally co-written by Company Theatre co-founder and artistic director Zoe Bradford and actor/director Michael Hammond, with lyrics and music by composer Adam Brooks. Their collective story fuses history, romance and a fondness for the beachside amusement park that was a premier tourist destination for nearly 80 years.
Paragon Park the Musical is a sweeping spectacle featuring an original script, musical score, and an enormous cast of fascinating characters, based on actual and fictional figures from Hull's rich and sordid history. The story unfolds at the 1985 auction of the parks’ Carousel and flashes back to 1905 when whaling mogul George A. Dodge realizes his dream of constructing a fantastical play land by the shore. The forbidden love of a Boston Brahmin girl and an Italian immigrant serves as a catalyst for reliving memories of Paragon Park during its heyday of the 1920's and 1960's.
