AUDITION CALL

Bound! The Musical - In Concert

We have 11 out of 12 roles cast, and are now looking for our last great addition! (female, early-mid 20s, any ethnicity, alto) 

​

Bound Musical Theatre Society is presenting In Concert performances of Bound! The Musical.  The In Concert performances will have songs memorized and scenes on book, with limited choreography, simple costumes and props, lighting, but no sets.  The performances will be November 19-20 at Metro Theatre in Vancouver.

​

Afterwards, we will start planning a full performance, with the hopes of keeping as much of the
In Concert performance team together as we can.
