The Strollers will hold auditions for "Children of Eden" on Sunday, September 10th from 2-5 pm and Monday, September 11th from 7-10 pm; callbacks will take place Wednesday, September 13th from 7-10 pm.
This is a musical by Stephen Schwartz that will be directed by Carol Cornicelli with musical direction by Michael Nuzzo.
It's a musical about humanity; about family; about taking first steps, exploring, falling, creating, loving, letting go; about living. Father/Mother (The Creator) learns and grows as a new parent as much as any of the “human” characters.
The Storytellers (Greek chorus, heavenly host) tell the story and move the plot along by narration and stepping into the scene at times. All of the lead and supporting characters in the play, with the exception of Father/Mother, are “chosen” from among the Storytellers, and when their role has “ended,” they rejoin the multitude.
The Strollers is seeking a large multi-ethnic, non-Equity cast of children, teen, and adult singer/actors. There are 16 roles available and many featured parts in the ensemble.
