* The role of Beethoven requires a high level of musicianship. If you are interested, contact the director well in advance of the scheduled auditions (labshep@comcast.net).
This is a true ensemble piece: all roles are major and provide significant acting challenges.
THIS IS A REVISION: THE ORIGINAL SINGING REQUIREMENT FOR SOME ROLES HAS BEEN ELIMINATED.
