‘Winter Wonderettes’ auditions Sept. 27-28
The Hill Country Community Theatre is casting the final role for its production of the musical “Winter Wonderettes.” Auditions are 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, at the theater, 4003 FM 2147 West in Cottonwood Shores.
“Winter Wonderettes” runs weekends from Dec. 5-21.
To try out for the role of “Suzy,” prepare one song (no a cappella auditions) in a similar style to the show, which is about a 1960s girl group, and be ready for cold readings from the script and a short movement combination (wear comfortable shoes and clothing).
All other roles in the production have been cast.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Suzy is happy-go-lucky, a little giddy, a little silly, and a little pregnant. She’s always willing to go along with anyone and anything, and she seems to giggle at just about everything. She finds great pleasure in all that she does; the sillier it is, the more fun she finds it.
Her pregnancy has brought out her attention-deficit disorder, and she reverts to her childhood at the drop of a dime.
She is married to Ritchie, her high school sweetheart, who is running the lights for the performance. Her honey-blond hair is reminiscent of early Marlo Thomas/”That Girl.” Her best friend is Missy.
VOCAL NOTES: Mezzo/Alto with big belt. Range: C#3-E5.
