Stray Dog Theatre and Clayton Symphony Orchestra announce open
auditions for non-Equity actors for their fundraising concert
production of MY FAIR LADY by Lerner and Loewe on Saturday, November
18th. The production will begin evening rehearsals on November 27th
through December 14th and January & February 2007 and will play
February 16th & 17th at 8pm and Sunday, February 18th at 2pm.

All positions are for singers; cast in solo, ensemble, and multiple
character roles. Please prepare 16 bars of a ballad from the musical-
comedy repertoire (no 'legit' opera). Unless performing from the My
Fair Lady score, singers should have sheet music in the proper key;
an accompanist will be provided. No a cappella or recorded music
accepted. Short readings from the script will also be available to
demonstrate acting characterizations. Dance/Movement audition is not
necessary in this concert setting.

If auditioning for Eliza, prepare the refrain from "I Could Have
Danced All Night" to a high G. If auditioning for Professor Higgins,
prepare 32 bars from "I'm An Ordinary Man" and prepare to sing the
chorus of "The Rain in Spain."

This concert fundraiser focuses the attention on the symphony
orchestra on the Mainstage and the singers performing all of the
script and lyrics at the front edge of the stage. Minimal costuming
and choreography is employed, further heightening the beauty of the
vocal and instrumental strength of the show.

There is no pay as all participants from the staff, orchestra, and
technicians are donating their efforts to the outreach work of Stray
Dog Theatre and Clayton Symphony in this exciting musical production.

Please bring one resume and headshot in addition to your calendar.
You will be asked for specific scheduling conflicts. Arrive in
advance of your appointment in order to select a side from the script
and to complete necessary audition paperwork.

Appointments are required in order to audition. To make an
appointment, please email StrayDogTheatre@aol.com or call (314) 865-
1995.
