Casting Kids and Teens for 'Gypsy' Production
About This Casting
Project Overview
Opportunities are available for kids and teens in the production of 'Gypsy'. Please note that only local talent will be accepted.
About the Project
Set in the golden age of vaudeville, 'Gypsy' follows the ambitious stage mother Rose, who is determined to make her daughters stars. With iconic numbers like “Some People,” Rose pushes her younger daughter June into the spotlight, while shy Louise remains in the shadows.
As the family travels across the country performing acts such as “Let Me Entertain You,” the world of show business begins to change, leading to tensions within their tightly controlled lives. When June breaks away to pursue her own future, Rose shifts her focus to Louise, encouraging her to step into the spotlight.
In a bold transformation set to “You Gotta Get a Gimmick,” Louise reinvents herself as the sophisticated Gypsy Rose Lee. Rose, confronted with her own dreams and sacrifices in the showstopping “Rose’s Turn,” must face the cost of her ambition. Featuring a rich score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim, 'Gypsy' is a powerful story of fame, family, and the pursuit of the spotlight.

Actors will receive a stipend ranging from $350 to $500, depending on the role, for a total of 12 shows.
