Production Info
"Wish Upon a Song" is ACT's annual animated movie musical revue, benefitting Make-A-Wish New Jersey. The show will feature songs from classic animated movie musicals and characters inspired by your favorite fairytale characters. Available songs/characters are decided upon after auditions. The theme/story will be entirely new this year. Following our performances, the cast will remain in character for a brief meet-and-greet with the audience!
Auditions are open to performers of ALL AGES!
Please note that children ages 12 and younger primarily will be cast in child character roles.
Production Team:
Director - Eric Pertgen

Rehearsals
Rehearsals will take place on some Tuesdays and Wednesday evenings, and some Saturday and Sunday afternoons from January-April at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Point Pleasant. If cast, you will NOT be called to every rehearsal and the amount of songs/numbers you are in will be based on your availability so we can best work with your schedule.
(If you're in another show or don't have a lot of availability, don't be discouraged from auditioning! If cast, we will do our best to work with your availability. That said, please be honest about your conflicts – once we make our schedule, you will be expected to attend all rehearsals you are called for).
Attendance at tech rehearsals and performances is MANDATORY.
Shows
Shows will take place in the Ocean/Monmouth county area in April. There will be an evening show on Friday April 11 and a matinee show on Saturday April 12, with the possibility of a third show being added in the evening of April 12 dependent on ticket sales.
Fundraising
If cast in the show, you will be required to participate in mandatory fundraising efforts. There is no cost to participate this production, but we need all hands on deck to help fundraise to make sure it is the best show possible.
Image Release
If cast, you will be required to sign an image release form allowing us to use your image and likeness on our social media, website, and in web/print advertising.
