Centenary Stage to Hold Auditions for Rodgers & Hammerstein

(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- Centenary Stage Company will be holding an open-call audition for the upcoming 2022 Holiday Spectacular Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Auditions will be held by appointment only on September 30 from 3:00pm-7:00pm and on October 1 from 1:00pm – 5:00pm.

To schedule an appointment, call the Centenary Stage Company box office at (908) 979-0900. Walk-ins will be seen as time permits. Auditions will be held in the Dance Studio in the Lackland Performing Arts Center of the Centenary University campus at 715 Grand Avenue, Hackettstown, NJ.

If you are unable to attend in-person, digital submissions will also be accepted. Please send resumes, headshots, and reels to CentenaryStageCasting@gmail.com with the subject line “Attn: Casting”.

Performances will run December 1-11. 

The magical fairytale, Cinderella, is reborn with Rodgers & Hammerstein’s elegant and charming music. Inspired by the 1997 teleplay starring Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother, this adaptation for the stage includes warmth, hilarity, and romance.
