CURRENTLY AUDITIONING:
A CHORUS LINE
This production is the eleventh installment of GetUp Stage Company’s traditional summer musical series in New Britain. With the drastic ways our world has changed within just the last few months, this production process will obviously be anything but traditional. We will be rehearsing multimodally, utilizing Zoom meetings and outdoor space to maximize the amount we can socially distance ourselves during this pandemic.
This show WILL BE DONE LIVE, IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE.
Ages 14-23
We are accepting video submissions until Sunday, June 28th.
