CAST LIST
Below is our cast list for Hairspray. We had lots of talented folks audition. Unfortunately not everyone was able to be cast. We had a mid-day meltdown on our male ensemble today and are in the process of regrouping to ensure a balanced cast. If you are a girl and did not get the role you wanted but would now consider joining the Ensemble, please let us know. We have room for several more girls for both the teen ensemble and for the North Avenue Ensemble. We are looking for 2+ more guys to round out the male ensemble.
PLEASE EMAIL BLY TO CONFIRM ACCEPTING YOUR ROLE AND TO ARRANGE TO PICK UP YOUR SCRIPT AND GET MEASURED FOR YOUR COSTUME(S). bly@artsoglethorpe.org
Rehearsal schedules are in the works. You should receive an emailed rehearsal schedule by Wednesday. If you have any changes in your conflicts, please let me know!
