Auditions: HAIRSPRAY

Wilson Arts and Greenfield Fine Arts will be producing HAIRSPRAY this July for the Annual Wilson Summer Community Musical!

Audition Dates and Times:
Saturday, June 6 at 5:00 PM

Monday June 8 at 7:00 PM

Performances: July 24-26, 2026

Auditions will be held at the Edna Boykin Cultural Center, 108 Nash Street NE, Wilson, NC 27893.

You can’t stop the beat of one girl’s inspiring dream to share her big and bold dance moves. Against the background of the civil rights movement, Hairspray chronicles the high drama, high energy and high hair of a local tv dance show in 1962 Baltimore.

Directed by Seth Penwell with musical direction by Seth Greene.

Auditionees should prepare 16-32 bars of a musical theater song and bring sheet music in the correct key.

Music is the only area we will cover. The acting portion of the audition will consist of cold readings from the script and take place at callbacks on Tuesday, June 9.

There will be no dance/movement to the audition.

The participation fee, if cast, is $75 per person or $50 for Wilson Arts members at the family giving level or higher.

If you have any questions, please contact Theater Arts Coordinator Thomas Mauney at thomas@wilsonarts.com.
