The riveting, well-known tale of vaudeville's decline and a domineering stage mother. It follows Mama Rose's dreams and efforts to raise her two daughters, June and Louise, to perform onstage, and her inadvertent creation of a burlesque stripper, Gypsy Rose Lee. Set in the 1920's and '30's, it casts an affectionate eye on the hardships of life and show business.

What Do You Need For An Audition?

First, bring yourself. Footlighters will ask you to fill out a short form providing contact information, and a short resume of previous acting experience (if any). If you already have a pre-printed resume, that is useful, but not necessary. Footlighters welcomes beginners, so previous experience is not required.

Footlighters Theater usually does "cold-reading" auditions, not always from the script of the play being auditioned for. As such, you will not generally need a prepared monologue unless explicitly called for in the audition notice.

For a straight (non-musical) play, the cold-reading (either alone or with other auditioners) is generally the entire audition. For musicals, auditioners trying out for a dancing role will have to learn a short dance number from the choreographer and perform that dance number for the choreographer and director. Bring dance shoes appropriate to the role(s) you are trying out for. Auditioners trying out for a singing role will have to sing a song of your choice (preferably of a style similar to the show's music) for the music director. Bring piano sheet music (preferred) or a karaoke-style backup music CD without vocals.

We are an all-volunteer community theater, so note that all persons cast in a production are expected to help in the technical aspects of building the show, such as set construction, painting, set decorating, properties, lighting, etc. No previous experience is required, and there are always things you can do.
