STEP RIGHT UP! BE A PART OF THE GREATEST SIDE SHOW ON EARTH
Come look at the freaks.
Come explore why they fascinate you
Exasperate you and flush your cheeks.
Come hear how love speaks.
Nolte Productions is holding an open casting call for Side Show. Diverse Actors of all abilities, sizes, and backgrounds are encouraged to audition. Casting is open to ages 12-25. Newcomers are especially welcome. Directed by Mia & Joshua Fryvecind.
See below for more details and click here for More Information - Sign Up for an audition or to get more information on how you can be involved in Nolte’s Side Show.
Join the Odditorium! Be a part of the spectacle either in the freak show, on the Vaudeville stage or both. What is your unique talent? Do you have a daring act?
Side Show is based on the true story of conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton discovered in the sideshow in the height of the Depression. The musical follows these unique sisters’ captivating journey from their humble beginnings among the "freaks" of the sideshow, throughout their rise to fame in the glitz and glam of the Vaudeville circuit, and eventually, Hollywood. Along the way, fame, show business and convention test the fragile bonds of love and identity.
We are seeking talented freaks, geeks, conjoined twins, and drag kings/queens! All are welcome. If you have a special carnival or sideshow talent we will consider performers outside of the stated age range for this production.
With music by Henry Krieger (Dreamgirls), book and lyrics by Bill Russell (Dreamgirls, Pageant) with additional book material by screenwriter and director Bill Condon (The Greatest Showman, Chicago, Beauty and the Beast), the musical Side Show explores the differences that join us all together and tear us apart. Nominated for multiple Tony® Awards, Side Show stirs instinctive fears in all of us, and begs the question, "Who will love me as I am?"
