THE EDGE AUDITIONS
Urinetown
For performers ages 13 and up.
Program runs November - early February.
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown provides outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.
AUDITIONS CALLBACKS AUDITION PREPARATION CALLBACK AUDITION MATERIAL The callback materials above are organized in folders labeled by Character Name. Simply click the folder with the character's name on it, and you will find all the callback materials for that character within that folder. Some characters will have 1 or 2 cuts of songs to learn. In addition, some characters will have 2-3 scenes. Within each characters folder, there are Scenes/Sides Folder for any scene-work we may ask for at Callbacks, a Sheet Music /Lyrics Folder (sheet music is marked up accordingly), and a folder labeled "Vocal/Karaoke Tracks." Within that folder, you will find a Vocal Track (to help you to learn the melody) and a Karaoke Track. Please be prepared to sing the songs with the karaoke tracks, but our Musical Director may choose to accompany callbacks for select songs if need-be. While we don't expect callback material to be fully memorized, we do suggest being as familiar/memorized as possible so that you can be physicalizing the character as well as acting the material in your callback. We are looking for fearlessness and boldness in these callbacks, so the more familiar you are, the more direction we can give you. WHAT TO BRING
 1. Recent photo (a snapshot or school photo is fine) 2. Resume or list of training/experience. If you don't have a resume, that's okay! You can just fill out the audition form online when you
