Aurora Theatre
seeks Latinx child actors to portray the roles of young Emilio and
Gloria Estefan in the regional premiere of the Broadway hit, ON YOUR FEET!
Does your child have what it takes to play an icon of the music
industry at the second largest professional theater in Georgia? Find
out as open auditions will be held on Friday, September 20, 2019 from
3:30 p.m. to
7:30 p.m. at Aurora Theatre. The theater is looking for
boys ages 8-12 and girls ages 11-14. This is a professional production;
all roles will be paid.
ON YOUR FEET!
is the inspiring true story about heart, heritage and two people who
believed in their talent—and each other—to become international
superstars: Gloria and Emilio Estefan. The musical sensation is a dance
party that features all of your favorite songs including: Rhythm is Gonna Get You,
1-2-3, Conga, Turn the Beat Around, and many more. The show
will run March 5 – April 19, with rehearsals beginning on February 2,
2020. Aurora will seek 2-6 youth actors for each available role due to
the time commitment of the project.
For the role of Little Gloria, Aurora Theatre seeks a
female actor, aged 10–14. The character is Cuban and innocent, but
smart and self-reliant. She’s slightly sad but always full of hope.
Talent must speak fluent Spanish and sing well. Those auditioning for
Little Gloria will sing the song Cuando
Salí De Cuba (When
I Left Cuba) and learn one scene from the show. Boys will
audition for the role of Little Emilio/Nayib. Young male talent should
be aged 8–12, must speak fluent Spanish, be a good mover, but they do
not need to sing. Boys auditioning for Little Emilio will do readings
from a selection of two scenes from the show.
To schedule an audition appointment, email casting@auroratheatre.com
along with a headshot and resume of the child being considered. If the
child does not have a professional headshot, please email a picture of
the child and anything you would like the theater to know about him/her
regarding acting, singing, and dancing. Aurora recommends that the child
memorize their lines before coming to the audition: it will make them
more confident and less nervous. Aurora Theatre is only seeking Latinx
children.
