The Theatre is currently seeking diverse young performers (both boys and girls) who can portray ages 14-18 to be the “Four Seasons Fan Club” in the Theatre’s three-week run of Broadway’s Jersey Boys (January 11 – 30).

Performers are asked to bring a headshot and resume and prepare 16 bars of a song in the style of the show. Performers should bring sheet music; an accompanist will be provided.

Actors must be available for all performances (eight shows per week, including Wednesday matinees), rehearsals, tech rehearsals and previews.

“As the largest regional theatre in the southern half of the U.S., we are committed to offering exceptional performance opportunities to the next generation of actors whenever we can,” said Andrew Kato, the Theatre’s producing artistic director and chief executive. “This is a fantastic opportunity for young actors to train and perform alongside professionals in a large-scale hit musical. This unique production will go down in history as an audience favorite for years to come, and I’m proud that our local youth will be able to say they were part of it.”
A 2005 jukebox musical with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons and features a smash hit score spanning two decades of hits.
