AUDITIONS
Acting at FMCT
Did you know that all of our Actors are volunteers? Each production is fully-cast from people just like you who want to explore their creativity through acting. We have doctors, dentists, at home moms, secretaries, bankers, high school and college students and many more. Some have done it before, others have not. Join us today and become part of the magic of theatre here at FMCT.
Below are the audition dates for each production in our season. Most auditions will require you to bring g specific materials with you. For example a musical may require you to sing 16-32 bars of music, a drama may want you to perform a monologue or two. You will find that information below, along with the audition dates. Please note that there may not be specific information about each audition until two weeks before each show…but check back to see more information.
Auditions: Bugsy Malone Senior
April 1 & 2
Based on the 1976 movie, Bugsy Malone is set in 1929 in New York City where established gangster Fat Sam and newcomer Dandy Dan fight for control of the metropolis. When Dandy Dan’s gang introduces “splurge blasters” which take out opponents using silly string, it seems Fat Sam will lose. Outside of the fighting is Bugsy Malone. He is more interested in courting the beautiful Blousey Brown. He helps her get a job at the speakeasy, Fat Sam’s Grand Slam, where she performs with Fat Sam’s wise-cracking girlfriend, Tallulah. As Fat Sam’s entourage continues to get splurged, he calls his friend, Bugsy Malone to save the day. With a score by the composer of The Muppet Movie, this family friendly musical comedy will make you leave the theater singing and laughing!
