Seventeen-year-old Evan Hansen has felt invisible his entire life. But when a tragedy shocks his community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begins to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for.

We are looking for all roles including Principals, Supporting and Ensemble.

We seek performers from all backgrounds, races and ethnicities. We encourage ALL to apply.

The Production Team is dedicated to making the audition, rehearsal and performance process safe, accessible and welcoming for all performers regardless of race or ability.

The Queensville Players are committed to diverse and inclusive casting. We welcome applications from all performers, without regard to age, sex, ethnicity, disability, race, colour, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other bias.

This is a non-equity, non-paying production. There is no fee to audition.

All chosen applicants must adhere to the QP Constitution and By-Laws. Membership fee of $40 for Individual or $70 for Family applies if cast in the production.

We are seeking 17+ auditionees that demonstrate discipline, strong focus, and emotional maturity for this specific show content.

What to Prepare:

Acting: We will not be asking auditionees to prepare a separate acting side or monologue, as every character in the show is required to both sing and act. The vocal audition will give us an opportunity to see both of these skills.

We will also have a selection of sides available for cold reads if we would like to see more from an auditionee or explore a particular character further.

Vocal:
Please prepare one contemporary musical theatre song of your choice, no longer than one minute in length. This selection should showcase both your vocal ability and your storytelling/acting skills.

In addition to your chosen song, please prepare one of the provided selections based on the character/role you are auditioning for:

• Evan: “Words Fail”
• Any other male role: “Words Fail” or “Disappear”
• Heidi or Cynthia: “So Big/So Small”
• Any other female role: “Requiem”
• Ensemble: Please choose any one of the four selections listed above.

You do not need to prepare the entire song. Please prepare the specific audition cut/material provided by the production team when your audition is confirmed.

We encourage you to approach both selections as an opportunity to tell a story and make strong acting choices through the music, not simply as a vocal performance.

**Please come prepared with a karaoke track (we will have a Bluetooth speaker available) no A Cappella singing please and no accompanist will be provided**

Dance: 
There will be a dance audition for all roles so please bring comfortable shoes to dance in (character shoes not required) and wear clothing you can move in. There will be group dance calls scheduled, you will be notified of the time when your audition is confirmed.
