Auditions

The Stampede Troupe welcomes actors of all levels to audition for our productions. Whether you come from a strong theatre background or have never performed on a stage before, we welcome you to try out. We are always looking for talent. You do not have to be a 'triple threat' (a great singer, dancer, or actor) to be in a Stampede Troupe show. There are often non-singing or non-dancing roles in musicals or times when we need really good dancers that don't need to act - of course, there is no singing or dancing in a play so there is truly a place for everyone!

WHAT TO PREPARE

Please prepare a 60 second comic monologue best demonstrating your timing and delivery or you may select a monologue from the show (link provided on audition signup form); and 32 bars of music in the style of the show that showcases your vocal range and acting ability. Song selection should demonstrate legit, classical vocal technique. Pop/belting is not necessary for this genre. Please bring sheet music, in the correct key, preferably in a binder. Suggested songs include any Gilbert and Sullivan, Cole Porter, or early Rodgers and Hammerstein. An accompanist will be provided. No a capella auditions or recorded accompaniments are permitted. Auditioners may be asked to vocalize in order to determine vocal range. NOTE: For your song and monologue, please prepare with a British (or British-ish) accent.

 

THE CHARACTERS - Casting five lead actors and 6 ensemble actors:

​

  • The D’Ysquith Family — Age 30s to 50s, must be able to play a variety of genders — Vocal range F#2 (bottom) / G#4 (top). This actor plays the eight doomed heirs of the D’Ysquith family. All D’Ysquith family heirs are farces of British high society in the early 20th century. The actor in this role should have strong physical comedy skills and accent abilities that help differentiate the multiple characters. Must have stamina to carry the different characters throughout the show and make quick costume changes. 

  • Monty Navarro — Age 20s to 30s — Vocal range top: Bb3 (bottom) / Bb5 (top). Monty learns his mother was a disinherited member of the D’Ysquith royal family and he is ninth in line for the Earldom of Highhurst. He is a leading man and often the straight man in the show, requiring strong physical comedy skills.

  • Sibella Hallward — Age 20s to 30s — Vocal range Gb3 (bottom) / Gb5 (top). The girl Monty loves. Sibella has true affection for Monty but also for social status. Sibella is smart, funny and stylish, and as far as relationships are concerned, she wants to have her cake and eat it too.

  • Phoebe D’Ysquith — Age 20s to 30s — Vocal range: G#3 (bottom) / high sustained C#6 with an optional Eb (top). Monty’s cousin. Phoebe was raised high-class with idealistic fantasies of love. She foils Sibella in her interest in love over status and trys to find the true virtue in people. Though she is smart and earnest, she can also be naive. Must be a true soprano with a legit, possibly operatic sound.

  • Miss Shingle — Age 40s to 60s —Vocal range Eb3 (bottom) / E5 (top). Monty’s unexpected visitor. Sneaky and mysterious, Miss Shingle has an obvious sense of justice. She comes to tell Monty the secret of his D’Ysquith lineage with a pivotal song in Act 1 that sets up the story of the show. Looking to cast a character actress with a vocal style to match.

  • Ensemble — 3 men and 3 women of various ages and vocal ranges. Ensemble actors play a variety of roles including featured characters with solos and lines. Must be able to portray a variety of character-distinguishing traits and ages.
