This is a double audition for our two musicals this season!
Pier One will be hosting auditions for both The Addams Family: A New Musical and Fiddler on the Roof. Both shows will share the same audition time and space with coordinated audition material. You may audition for one or the other, or both!
Please come at the start time if at all possible to get the full audition experience! (If you absolutely cannot make these dates, please contact jennifer@pieronetheatre.org)
Look closely at the performance schedule to decide which shows work best for you, and let us know which one (or both) you are interested in.
We are using materials from both shows to gather the information needed on vocal range, movement, and readings. To learn the songs in advance, please listen to "Sunrise, Sunset", "Far From the Home I Love", and "Miracle of Miracles" from Fiddler on the Roof, and "When you're an Addams" from the Addams Family. We will also teach these songs at auditions!
Audition materials are available at the Pier One Theatre office. These are open auditions for all ages.
Read on for information about the shows. Call 907-226-2287 or email info@pieronetheatre.org with any questions!

And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
