Casting Teen Actors for New Musical
“Dear Journal” is a new musical centering around 4 teenagers entering middle school. Realizing that middle school isn’t just about what it appears to be, they scramble to fit in and lose track of what’s really important. This show tackles difficult subjects such as popularity, peer pressure, betrayal and staying true to yourself. Now, they must make a choice between the friends they always wanted-or the friends they’ve always had.
“Dear Journal” touches, moves and inspires everyone that sees it. The special thing about “Dear Journal” is that it is the foundation of a friendship. Eric Gelb and Ryan Hurley put their rocky past aside to produce and direct an original musical chronicling the many things that happen in middle school. Together, they have performed 5 shows at 4 different venues across Michigan.
Available Roles:
- Brenton: (Lead role) (Male, Caucasian, ages 12-15) After being betrayed from his best friend, Brenton is determined to win back Max-s friendship. Although geeky, gets tons of laughs; funny. (Must sing and act well and have limited dance ability.)
- Ricky: (Lead role) (Male, open ethnicity, ages 12-16) The cool guy of KBS. Suave, slick and smooth-Ricky uses Max, the lead, to do stuff for him while he gets enjoyment out of it. Trish, the female lead is in love with Ricky, but the feeling is not mutual. Must be handsome and at least 5-4. (Must sing and act well and have limited dance ability.)
- Scott: (ensemble role) (Male, open ethnicity, ages 12-18)one of Ricky’s friends. Handsome, fresh-faced and loyal to Ricky.
- High School Student: (Male or Female, open ethnicity ages 12-18)
Compensation:
These are not paid roles. We designed, purchased and assembled everything ourselves. Working around a tight budget, we have produced a show we are so proud of with a message even stronger than anything else out there. However, we are probably the first teens to do that. Almost no middle schools have any arts funding left – I know ours doesn’t. That’s why we set out to do this production, and that’s why all the money to produce our show came out of our pockets, even turning to our cast members for financial help. We hope, aside from walking away with a great message, the people the come to see our show will be inspired to make a change in their school’s arts program and start programs like we did.
How to Apply:
If you are interested in applying, please email your resume and headshot to: theatrical100@gmail.com
NOTE: Please include the role you are applying for in the subject line of your email. You must have reliable transportation to Berkley, Michigan.

Auditions for Actors and Actresses
This World Premiere Comedy play is about an R&B radio station, WTRC, where everybody has an opinion but Rockin’ Robbie DuPree has to decide whether to do what’s right… or do what’s right for him. Geneva and Brother Singleton want him to stand up and be a man but Robbie wants to mind his business and stay employed. Either way, Sunday’s broadcasts will never be the same at 1350 AM Radio, WTRC. Don’t miss this brand new Comedy starring Council Cargle, Sean Rodriguez-Sharpe and Lisa McCormick, where DJ’s kick out the R&B jams through the week and the weekend brings forth live studio guests who “Sing Out On Sundays.”
“Sing Out On Sundays” is written by Reuben Yabuku, Buku Productions Theatre Company’s Artistic Director. This marks Mr. Yabuku’s 6th original play to be brought to production following the success of “Hit The Floor Dancin’,” “Moms Mabley The Naked Truth,” “Little Ghetto Boy: The Donny Hathaway Tribute Concert,” “Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round” and “Rock My Soul.”
Audition Details:
Monday, April 16, 2012
Historic Little Rock Resource Center (Lighthouse Theatre inside)
8801 Woodward Avenue
Detroit, MI 48202
(At the corner of Gladstone – 3 blocks south of Clairmount)
Available Roles:
Some roles have already been cast but all roles listed below are still available.
- Geneva McIntosh: WTRC Radio Office Manager who is having a so-called “secret” romance with DJ and Program Director, Robbie DuPree. She’s bossy, on a short fuse and, though it’s not her job to do so, she basically runs the station… like a Pit Bull.
- Bill Schwartz: Caucasian Engineer at station WTRC. He has flashes of hip-ness. He’s not a phony, he’s really comfortable in this R&B environment even though he has a Pop background. Schwartz and DJ, Robbie DuPree, are best friends.
- Thomas Hoye: Young, Black Board-Op(erator) for the church shows at remote locations. Thomas complains a lot but is a hard worker. He has a wonderful, wise-cracking and sarcastic friendship with Brother Singleton, whose show he Board-Op’s for.
- Joan Alexander: WTRC’s boisterous and cocky News Director and Broadcaster at a radio station where news has very little importance; she’s a one-woman news department. She’s more popular and successful in her mind than she is with the listening public. Joan flirts with Robbie DuPree a lot so she is hated by Geneva, Robbie’s girlfriend.
- Pierre Leyton: Slick, skirt-chasing Record Promoter. He hangs around the station so much, he’s almost like a station employee. He flirts with the receptionist, Trina, but anyone else who falls for his charms will do as well. Pierre talks hip and is never really serious. He loves his “pretend-world” life and all the perks that come with it.
- Deacon Herb: Deacon Herb is a Ventriloquist and straight man to Pastor Woody, his wooden Ventriloquist Dummy. Deacon Herb is not very good at Ventriloquism, moving his mouth more than most and Pastor Woody is a Dummy with an attitude.
- 2 Cops: Two uniformed Cops are in one scene. One cop is male and one is female. They are serious professionals but the male steps out of character a little when he is star struck by meeting Newscaster, Joan Alexander.
Compensation:
Some roles will receive compensation.
How to Apply:
If you are interested in applying please email your headshot and resume to: info@singoutonsundays.com
NOTE: Please include the role you are applying for in the subject line of your email.
