Music of the Night is seeking performers of all ages, backgrounds and body types to participate in the production.
For the audition, performers are asked to be prepared to deliver a vocal piece that ‘best highlights your voice.’
You may be asked to sing music from the show.
Piano accompaniment will provided, while performers may also sing a Capella, use an instrument or instrumental track.
Shows for the Music of the Night production of Hairspray are scheduled for early February in Antigonish, Guysborough and Port Hawkesbury.
The annual Music of the Night production is a fundraiser for the Dr. John Hugh Gillis Regional High School band program.
