Dingbat Theatre Project is seeking non-union performers for their upcoming production of Chicago. Performers of all ages, shapes, sizes, backgrounds, gender identities, etc are encouraged to audition, but due to the content of the show must be 18 years or older by June 1, 2023 to be considered for a role.

*All performers will be paid a gas stipend for their participation in the show. Rate negotiable.

Seeking Performers to fill the following roles:
ROXIE HART
BILLY FLYNN
ENSEMBLE 1 - To play Amos Hart, a Cell Block Girl, and others.
ENSEMBLE 2 - To play a cell block girl and others.
ENSEMBLE 3 - To play a cell block girl and others.
ENSEMBLE 4 - To play a cell block girl and others.

The roles of VELMA KELLY, MATRON “MAMA” MORTON, and MARY SUNSHINE have been filled, but swings and understudies for these roles and the other roles listed above will be cast from this audition.
The majority of performers must be comfortable wearing revealing costumes, as the staging will be heavily influenced by burlesque of the time period. Security will be present at all performances to protect the actors. Due to the nature of the show and choreography, performers will be asked to fill out a form detailing their boundaries and comfortability levels regarding costumes, physical touch, communication, etc. in order to foster a safe, creative environment where everyone feels comfortable and protected.
