I am writing to let you know that THE BOOK OF MORMON will be coming to
Sacramento to hold auditions February 8th and 9th by appointment only.
We are looking to build our files for future replacements for all
three companies (Broadway, 1st National Tour, Jumamosi Tour) for the
roles of ARNOLD CUNNINGHAM, KEVIN PRICE, NABALUGI and ELDER MCKINLEY
etc. (See role descriptions below.) We realize that the area has some
fantastic musical and comedy talent, and even though we have some
appointments already scheduled we want to make sure that we are not
missing anyone, and felt that it is important to reach out to the
local theatres, universities and improv groups to make sure no one is
robbed of the opportunity to submit themselves for consideration. We
appreciate you passing this on to anyone you feel might be right. Or
if you have an email list, doing a blast to make actors aware.
Anyone interested in auditioning for any or all of these companies
should submit a picture and resume and any additional materials to
jrichcasting@gmail.com by 5PM Thursday, February 7th 2013. Please
make sure you put the City Name of the audition in the subject line.
Due to the amount of emails we receive, we may not be able to respond
to every submission. Please note that submitting does not guarantee
an appointment. Both Equity and Non Equity should submit.
