AUDITIONS – Pump Boys and Dinettes

Director Tom Width and Musical Director Paul Deiss are seeking two women and two men for roles in Swift Creek Mill Theatre's upcoming production of Pump Boys and Dinettes.

All actors should be playable as 25-40 years old.

 

Open Call:  Sunday, 1/11, 6 – 10 P.M. by appointment

Callbacks:  Friday, 1/16, 7 P.M.

 

Audition requirements:  Please prepare a Pop-Country song that shows lots of personality (an accompanist

will be provided) and, if you wish, a brief comedic monologue.  The show takes place in rural North

Carolina, so a Southern twang would be appropriate.

be able to comfortably interact with the audience. Strong tenor/baritone up to G4.  The ability to play

play rhythm and/or lead guitar, some electric bass.

 

Rhetta Cupp (female):  Co-owner and operator of the Double Cupp Diner.  Older sister to Prudie. 

No-nonsense and hard-working.  Mezzo-soprano A-3 to A-5.  Some simple tap dancing.
