I got an e-mail from Jim Betts, Artistic Director of ScriptLab, the organizers of the first ever Canadian Musical Theatre Festival this November! They are holding auditions, so I thought I'd pass along the info...

AUDITION NOTICE
ScriptLab is looking for musical theatre performers for the Canadian Musical Theatre Festival in November as well as upcoming workshops.

Please specify if you wish to audition for ScriptLab in general or specifically for JUSTINE: LOVE ME.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
Two contrasting songs that show your musical strengths. Accompanist is provided.

Requirements for JUSTINE: LOVE ME
This show was originally created in the early '70s. We are looking to revisit the show and update it through workshops.

ENSEMBLE
