ABOUT: “In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived 12 little girls in two straight lines.” So begins this delightful story of Madeline’s Christmas! The day begins like any other day. Miss Clavel takes the 12 little girls on their morning walk. They go to the zoo and then back to school for their French history lesson. Suddenly disaster strikes when everyone gets the flu! Everyone that is, except for the ever-resilient Madeline. But on Christmas Eve, the adventure begins when there is a knock at the front door. Expecting to see Santa, Madeline meets the rug merchant who has brought 12 very special rugs. Can Madeline, Miss Clavel, and the rug merchant heal the girls in time for Christmas?

ABOUT: Jason Robert Brown’s Drama Desk winner, The Last Five Years, has been translated into a handful of languages and was named one of TIME Magazine‘s ten best shows of 2001. An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years, the show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

AUDITIONS: Auditions will consist of two contrasting songs in the style of the show, each being a 16-bar cut. Auditions will be held at GCT on Saturday, August 22, 11AM-2PM and Sunday, August 16, 6PM – 8PM. Accompanist will be provided. Actors of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, and abilities are encouraged to audition. 

WHAT TO PREPARE: Please fill out the audition form and conflict calendar in the audition materials folder above to bring with you to your scheduled audition date and time, along with headshot and resume.

*If you are unable to attend the in-person audition but are interested in the production, please reach out to Exec@gctcomeplay.org.
