Audition Requirements

Please note that FRC produces shows on a volunteer, recreational basis, and does not financially compensate participants except for pre-approved show-related expenses.

There are two audition options:

In-Person Audition – Required for all musicians who are new to Front Row Centre. After booking a time slot, you will receive a section of music from the band director, Neil West, to prepare and play in person. Watch your email for this music after booking.

Phone Interview – Available only to returning Front Row Centre band members. Please still book a time slot; your phone interview will occur during the time you select.

About the Show

It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ’n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands of the decade hold the answer.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals will be held on Sunday evenings from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, expanding to include some Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as Sunday afternoons, as the production progresses. All rehearsals will take place at FRC's rehearsal space, 1-4619 6 St NE.

PLEASE NOTE: For the week prior to opening (i.e. beginning Sunday September 7th), please expect a rehearsal or other activity on each day.
