Please prepare a brief, traditional musical theatre song. No contemporary music, please. Bring sheet music in the correct key; accompanist is provided, but may not transpose. Performers may be asked to demonstrate a time step (bring tap shoes).

Please bring a photo and resume, stapled back-to-back.

New musical inspired by the life of Sammy Davis, Jr. The score includes several standards.

At this EPA, seeking kids to play the following available track only (see separate notice for adult EPAs):

Young Joey / Little Jim:

Young Joey: Character is an African American 8-year-old boy; Joey as a young child. Should be charismatic and appealing. We have to believe that this young man will grow up to be a star. Actor must sing and tap well. Little Jim: Character is an African American 8-year-old boy; Jim Marshall – Joey’s uncle – as a young child. Sweet, innocent. Child of an interracial marriage. Actor must sing and tap well. Note: Character names were changed on 1/17/12, and roles were combined into a track for a single actor.
