Hi!
My name is Andy Head.
I'm an instructor here at RIT in the College of Liberal Arts Theatre Arts Program.
Next fall, I will be directing a joint COLA-NTID Performing Arts production
of the musical "Cabaret".
For this production of "Cabaret" we are seeking Deaf and hearing talent.
Actors, singers, dancers, performers, signers of all varieties are encouraged to audition.
This show is being created for Deaf and hearing audiences alike and will be accessible to everyone.
This audition video is designed to give you all of the information that you need to know
in order to prepare for the upcoming auditions.
First, I want to tell you a little bit about the show itself.
"Cabaret" is a musical that is set in Berlin in 1930-1931 as Hitler and the Nazis
are coming to power.
It takes place in a location called the Kit Kat Club where we meet many fun characters,
like the Emcee, or master of ceremonies, Sally Bowles, who is one of the lead performers
at the club, and Cliff, who is a struggling American writer looking for his next story.
For this particular production of "Cabaret", we are transforming the Kit Kat Club into
a safe haven for people who are facing violence at the hands of the Nazis.
The Nazis persecuted Jewish people, people of color, people living with disabilities,
gay people, transgender people, and many others, and this Kit Kat Club is a place where all
of those "outsiders" can come together, find community, feel safe, and have a place
to call home while Germany falls apart around them.

So, that's a little bit about the show, and now, more about the auditions.
Auditions will be taking place on Friday, September 7 and Saturday, September 8 at the
Panara Theatre on NTID's campus at RIT.
On Friday, individual auditions will be from 6-10pm, and here's what you should prepare:
a 60-second monologue from any 20th Century play of your choice and 32 bars from any musical
theatre song of your choice.
The two pieces can be either signed, spoken & sung, or both at the time.
Be sure to bring the appropriate sheet music
or the appropriate musical track if that's what you're using.
On Saturday, dance auditions will begin at 10am, and will be followed by singing and
acting callbacks in the afternoon.
For the dance auditions, you don't have to prepare anything, just wear closed-toe
shoes, movement-appropriate clothing, and bring a bottle of water.
We'll teach you what to do.
I'm now going to introduce you to our Assistant Director, Choreographer, and Music Director
so that they can tell you more about the show and more of what to expect from auditions.
Hi!
My name is Fred Beam.
I'm the Assistant Director for this production of "Cabaret".
In my career, I've have professionally acted, danced, directed, and written plays.
I'm very excited to be involved with this production of "Cabaret"!
As Assistant Director, I will be looking at the play from a Deaf perspective and making
sure that the hearing and Deaf approaches we bring to this play complement each other.
Accessibility for all is a very important priority for this production.
I'm really excited for this experience.
I'm looking for two things at our upcoming auditions.
First, a signed monologue from any 20th Century play.
Don't use anything older than that, like a Shakespearean play.
We prefer a selection from a modern play.
Secondly, please prepare a signed song under two minutes in length.
We want see how you use rhythm and interpret the song into sign language.
At auditions we will have an audio system and an accompanist.
You can bring sheet music if you would like to use it.
You can also bring recorded music to use, if you wish.
Either way is fine.
Good luck and we can't wait to see you at auditions!
Hi, I'm Cheryl Johnson.
I will be choreographing this production of "Cabaret".
My credits include touring dance companies, television specials, music videos, night clubs, and international dance festivals.
The 1972 version of "Cabaret", this was on film, was choreographed by Bob Fosse.
Bob Fosse's theatrical jazz dance styles were very rhythmical, and they involved a
turned-in knee, a rolled shoulder, isolations, and amoeba-like group collaborations.
We are looking for dancers who have a strong sense of rhythm.
We want you to be able to dance in time with the music.
This is important so that all the dancers are in sync onstage.
The dancers will represent the girls and the guys who work at the Kit Kat Club.
We are looking for dancers who will not be embarrassed to dance with sensuality.
There will be strenuous poses, high kicks; therefore you will need strength and flexibility.
We want to see what you look like and how you move, so please wear clothing that is
flexible and that you can move in.
We want dancers to have a good time and we want to see that you will invest in the rehearsal
process, so bring your personalities.
Hello, everyone.
My name is Dean Davis, and I'm the musical director for RIT's and NTID's production of "Cabaret" this fall.
I'm coming to you live from Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL where I've been with
my high school band and choir this week.
I'm very excited to be part of this production and wanted to give you just a little bit of
information about the auditions that will help you.
First of all, we are so looking forward to this production and having you come out, and
we are looking for a broad array of people that will come out and audition.
First, as far as song selection goes, choose a song that really means something to you.
Something that you feel will show off your vocal ability, but a song that will also show
us what you can do, and we want you to own the song.
We want you to bring something from the heart, as well as bringing us what you can do vocally.
Second as far as when you come for the audition, have the music for the accompanist photocopied,
three-hole punched, and put in a three ring binder.
That's standard industry-wide and really makes it the easiest for the accompanist.
The music does not have to be memorized.
It's always good if it can, but again, we just want you to feel free and to feel open
and to bring us the best that you can give.
We really look forward to having you audition.
Tell your friends.
We would love to have a great turnout for this production.
I really look forward to seeing you this fall at auditions and look forward to a wonderful production of "Cabaret".
Thank you.
So, to sum everything up: Individual auditions will be taking place on Friday, September 7 from 6-10pm.
For those auditions you should prepare: a 60-second monologue from any 20th Century play of your choice
and 32 bars from any musical theatre song of your choice.
On Saturday, dance auditions begin at 10am, and will be followed by singing and acting callbacks that afternoon.
All of this will be taking place at the Panara Theatre on NTID's campus at RIT.
Also taking place are auditions for two NTID Performing Arts Spring productions:
"Fences" and a Dance Show inspired by the work of Shel Silverstein.
You don't have to audition for all three productions, but we do encourage you to do so.
Audition forms for all three shows can be found at the following link.
If you have any questions, feel free email me here.
Thank you so much for watching and we look forward to meeting you!
