Auditions for the Inspire Theatre production of Mel Brook's “The Producers” are scheduled for 6 until 9 p.m. next Monday, Feb. 13 and Thursday, Feb. 16 at the Westland Center for the Arts, 33455 Warren Road.
Casting will include roles for a scheming producer and his mousy accountant who aim to produce the biggest flop on Broadway. Max Bialystock and Leopold Bloom have discovered a surefire way to make a fortune on Broadway: raise millions from little old lady investors, produce the worst play ever and then run off with the money when the play closes on opening night. They think they've found their play in “Springtime for Hitler” - but anything can happen when the lights go down on Broadway.
Performances are set for three weekends, June 10 through 26.
The acting portion of the audition will include cold readings and auditioners will be taught a portion of a song from the show for the vocal audition. The dance audition will include an instructed routine. Auditioners should wear loose clothing in which to be able to move.
Those planning to audition should plan on arriving before 6 p.m. to complete paperwork and should remain for the entire tryout sessions.
The cast will include 10 men and 10 women.
