The Bearded Ladies Cabaret, open call for choir participants for show at La Mama
The Bearded Ladies Cabaret is a cabaret/theater company working on a project called Contradict This! A Birthday Funeral for Heros, as part of the 50th anniversary of Stonewall. The Bearded Ladies are throwing a party, a funeral, and a trial for Whitman, using him to explore what we do with our flawed heroes. For this pageant we are building a choir and are looking for singers who love to sing, can learn simple music quickly, are excited about working with The Bearded Ladies, and love glitter and fake facial hair.
There is no audition process, the show is looking for about 30 voices in total. It's a volunteer choir (all members will be fed at every rehearsal/performance).
The music is fairly simple, and we're looking for all voice types.
There may be some elements of physicality in the performance, but we're
more interested in getting as many diverse voices and bodies in the room
as possible.
The production will be at LaMaMa, and the schedule we'd like for folx to make is the following:
June 17th 6-10p rehearsal (TBD Great Jones Room of LaMaMa)
June 18th 7-9pm spacing rehearsal at LaMaMa.
June 19th 6p-10p tech rehearsal (we understand if people cannot make this commitment, the whole day long)
