CALLBACKS:

“Avenue Q School Edition” callbacks will be held on Saturday August 18th from 4:30pm to 6:00pm. “13 the Musical” callbacks will be held on Sunday August 19th with an invited dance call at 1:30pm followed callbacks from 3:00pm to 4:30pm.

ABOUT THE SHOWS:

“13 the Musical” will be directed by Darius J. Manuel. With an unforgettable rock score by Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, 13 is a musical about fitting in and standing out. Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parent’s divorce. Surrounded by an array of simpleminded middle school students, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. A hilarious, coming-of-age musical about discovering that “cool” is sometimes where we least expect it. 13 is the only Broadway musical ever with a cast entirely made of teenagers.

“Avenue Q School Edition” will be directed by Sean Cutler. Winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is a puppet-filled comedy following a group of young adults seeking their purpose in big-city life. The school edition of the show is a PG version. The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life.
