Director: Jonathan Pennington Choreographer: Danielle Martinez Musical Director: Tom Masinter

OPEN CALL, Saturday, January 25, 2014 from 10:00 a - 1 pm, with a 9:45 am sign in. Callbacks by invitation only

THE WEDDING SINGER -- it’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Then when he meets Julia, an admiring young waitress, Robbie falls madly in love. Only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980s, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.

Big ensemble with a lot of great small parts all ages and all types needed. Ages 18 and Up are invited to audition for this show. All auditioners will be considered for all parts. Dancers and non-Dancers are needed. Strong Male Singer/Actor and Guitarist for the Role of Robbie.

The Cameo Theatre with Jonathan Pennington Studios are holding AUDITIONS for one of the most hilarious musicals of all time, AVENUE Q. AUDITIONS ARE BEING SCHEDULED NOW - Want to be a part of this zany laugh-out-loud, adult-themed spoof on Sesame Street ? Schedule your audition time NOW !

Produced/Directed by Jonathan Pennington; Co-Directed by Jovi Lee Gonzales. Musical Direction by Natalia Skovorodina. Choreography by Danielle Martinez.

Dancers/Singers/Actors need to be in really good physical condition. Please note what we are looking for in the character breakdown below and more specific info will be given at the auditions.

Avenue Q is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon discovers that the only neighborhood in his price range is Avenue Q; still, the neighbors seem nice. There's Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fiance Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his roommate Rod - a Republican investment banker who seems to have some sort of secret; an Internet addict called Trekkie Monster; and a very cute kindergarten teaching assistant named Kate. And would you believe the building's superintendent is Gary Coleman?!? Together, Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life. The show is largely inspired by (and in the style of) PBS's Sesame Street, with several characters that are recognizably parodies of classic Muppet characters. Because of its adult content and "full puppet nudity" (including graphic simulated sex between puppets), Avenue Q may be inappropriate for children 12 years of age and under.

SINGERS: Prepare a song of your choice the shows off your vocal style and range.

All types, ethnicities and sizes are encouraged to audition. TO SCHEDULE AN AUDITION, PLEASE EMAIL YOUR REQUEST TO: jonathan.productions@live.com - PLEASE include Your Name, Age, Email Address, Current Phone Number and role you're auditioning for. CALL-BACKS will be by invitation only.

The production runs March 13 - April 14, 2013.
