Cinderella Broadway Version – Applications for Producer and Artistic Team
CMT is particularly pleased to offer Cinderella in this, our 75th Anniversary Year. If anything, we have learned that nothing is “impossible” to those who work hard to achieve their dreams. Cinderella will be presented at Meadowvale Theatre in November 2020.
Clarkson Music Theatre welcomes submissions for anyone who would be interested in being part of the Production Team for Cinderella Broadway Version. This Producer would not be performing on stage. Please apply your interest to either Rita or Christine asap. Rehearsals will run from late August on Saturdays, and in the evenings of Monday and Wednesday. Production meetings will begin February once the team has been assembled.
 
Applicants for Artistic Director and / or Choreographer of Cinderella Broadway: Please apply for an Interview to our VP of Production – Christine McMahon at  [email protected]. Interviews will be held at Christ Church on January 11th, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Applicants will be asked to submit:

• Your resume
• Your vision for the show
• Your set and design concept (including ways to address the many scene changes as well as how to deal with the unique challenges offered in this show ie: giants, pumpkins that change into chariots, other special effects).
• Your compensation package
• Ways to subtly acknowledge this as CMT’s 75th Anniversary Show.

Sign up for The Spring Concert:
we hope you will consider joining CMT’s next project: our 75th Anniversary Year spring concert: “This is Clarkson”.  Our directors have four 30 minute quadrants – each filled with awesome music from Clarkson’s archives– and there’s something for everyone, with opportunities for solos, duets, groups, and chorus.
 
For our ladies, this is your chance to be a Cell Block Tango girl, or one of the Three Little Maids, or Dolly or one of the sisters (think nuns, or Wonderful Town or White Christmas).
 
How cool if it were you singing as The Pirate King, or Nicely Nicely, or Doolittle, or Tevya or the Modern Major General?
 
Join us on 42nd Street, in Oklahoma, in Egypt … or in one of the many memories we’ve made together.
Please join CMT in this, our Anniversary Year!

As this is obviously a very special occasion we would love to welcome back as many CMT members as possible. Can we get 75 voices on that stage? Let’s try! CMT members in good standing may hold their place in the chorus by contacting [email protected] by Feb. 15th. (To ensure music score prep).
 
Thanks for joining us, for after all, YOU are Clarkson…
