Newly available to community theater, Jonathan Larson’s rock musical is winning a new generation of fans, most born long after the late ‘80s, where Rent’s young bohemian artists struggle to make it in New York City in the age of AIDS. Based on Puccini’s La Boheme, the musical was made into a popular film in 2005. Larson, though, did not live to see its success; he died suddenly the night before its off-Broadway premiere.

Auditions for Springfield Theatre Centre's RENT will be held on Saturday, November 7 at the Hoogland Center for the Arts with callbacks on Sunday, November 8. Please email director Carly Shank at carlyshank@yahoo.com to schedule an audition time for November 7. Walk-ins will be welcome on the day of auditions but will be scheduled as time allows around those who have pre-scheduled their auditions. Auditionees must be at least 16 years of age on the day of auditions.
Auditionees should prepare a one-minute pop, rock, or Broadway audition song. A piano accompanist will be provided; please bring sheet music for the accompanist. Please select a piece that demonstrates your vocal range and performance ability; your audition selection absolutely does not need to be from RENT. For callbacks, however, vocal selections from RENT will be briefly reviewed and performed, so it is a good idea to be prepared to sing from the show’s score.
A headshot and resume are not required. An audition form will enable you to disclose information about your training and experience.
Roles are available for 9 men and 6 women.
Rehearsals for RENT will begin with occasional vocal rehearsals scheduled throughout November and December. Staging rehearsals will begin on Monday, December 28. Rehearsals will generally be held Monday through Friday evenings.
RENT will be performed February 12-14, and 19-21 at the Hoogland Center for the Arts.
The Springfield Theatre Centre is a volunteer organization. No actors or artistic staff will be paid for their services. For more info as it becomes available, please visit http://rentatstc.blogspot.com
