Leawood Stage Company is pleased to welcome Julie Ewing as director of her first production with Leawood. Julie has worked in video and film production and for many of the theater companies throughout the metropolitan area. Julie Ewing has put together an amazing artistic team consisting of Emmy Award winning Music Director, Darin Parker and Choreographer Marc Wayne, known to the Kansas City Arts scene for his work with Störling Dance Theater and his own acclaimed contemporary jazz/modern company Maxxas Dance Theatre.
Fiddler on the Roof is simply Broadway at its very best. This musical includes some of the most loved songs the world over. Its celebrated score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick features songs such as "Sunrise, Sunset", "If I Were A Rich Man", and "Matchmaker".
Based on Sholem Aleichem's stories by special permission of Arnold Perl, Fiddler on the Roof is rich in historical and ethnic detail. In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.
The show has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness
We encourage performers with all types of backgrounds, ethnicity and experience from 7 to 77 to audition. Be a part of this fabulous community theater experience where the Leawood Stage Company focuses on family fun for the 14th year. Fiddler on the Roof features great roles for adults and teens.
Everyone auditioning must be prepared to sing 16 measures from any musical, other than Fiddler on the Roof, with live accompaniment. There will be an accompanist provided so all those who audition are requested to bring sheet music in your key. Everyone should also be prepared to participate in a short dance/movement audition. Comfortable dress and shoes are suggested for the dance audition. Bring a photo and resume if available. No appointment time is necessary.
The production of Fiddler on the Roof will be performed July 12, 13, 14, 15 & 19, 20, 21, at the Ironwoods Amphitheater in Ironwoods Park. Rehearsals will begin June 3rd and will run Sunday through Thursday evenings.
