We'll have the following time set aside specifically for walk-ups:
Saturday, November 30th @ 1:00 - 1:45p

Auditioners will be seen on a first-come basis during that time.

In addition to having that time, we should have the occasional slot open up throughout the two audition days based on slotted auditions' timing and any no-shows. Those fill-ins will also be seen on a first-come basis.

We will do our best to see walk-up auditions but nothing is guaranteed.

Synopsis
Gordon Schwinn is a frustrated composer for a despotic children’s television show host. When he is diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation in his brain, he is confronted with the very real possibility that his musical legacy will be cut short. William Finn’s semi-autobiographical musical is energetic, sardonic, and poignant in its exploration of anxiety, self-doubt, and the healing power of art.
