Jesus Christ SuperstarDirected by Shanna Camacho | Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber | Lyrics by Tim Rice
We’re casting a high-energy, contemporary production of Jesus Christ Superstar — and all roles are open to performers of any gender. This is a gritty, emotionally driven take on the iconic rock
opera, with a focus on raw storytelling, electric vocals, and a diverse ensemble.
AUDITION DATES:
November 10, 2025, 7 pm
November 11, 2025, 7 pm
Callbacks (if needed): November 12, 2025
Location: Dayton Playhouse
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
We welcome performers of all backgrounds, identities, and experience levels. Casting will not be bound by traditional gender expectations — we’re looking for bold choices, strong voices, and
unique points of view.
Strong rock/pop vocal ability is a must.
Movement/dance experience is a plus.
FEATURED ROLES INCLUDE:
Jesus – Charismatic, spiritual, and torn between mission and mortality
Judas – Intense, conflicted, and deeply emotional
Mary Magdalene – Grounded, caring, and powerfully empathetic
Pilate – Cool and composed, with an edge
Herod – Showy, sharp, and a scene-stealer
ENSEMBLE will play followers, priests, and citizens — all must be strong singers with presence and energy.
WHAT TO PREPARE:
32 bars of a rock, pop, or musical theatre song (not from JCS, please)
Bring sheet music in your key; accompanist provided
Dress to move — a short movement call may follow
REHEARSALS BEGIN: November 17, 2025
PERFORMANCE DATES: January 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, and February 1
We aim to create a collaborative, welcoming environment where artists feel free to take risks and be themselves. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or stepping into the spotlight for the first
time, we want to see you.
