Indianapolis Civic Theatre will conduct open auditions for the Andrew Lloyd Weber/Tim Rice musical epic “Evita” at 7 p.m. June 29 and 30.

Auditions will be conducted at the theatre facility, 3200 Cold Spring Road, on the campus of Marian College. A free audition preparation session is 6-7 p.m. June 22 at the theatre. Rehearsals are scheduled to begin July 20. The show will open Civic’s 2009-10 mainstage season, playing Sept. 11-27.

The script calls for a cast of about three men and two women. A large, diverse adult ensemble and small youth ensemble (ages 8-14) portraying the people of Argentina will also be cast. Principal roles include the ambitious, charismatic Eva Peron, Juan Peron, the president of Argentina, narrator/commentator Che Guevara, suave tango singer Augustin Migaldi, and Juan Peron’s young, naïve mistress. The compelling story of Argentina’s controversial first lady, an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself, is told through a dynamic score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop, and jazz influences. The production will be directed by Ryan Koharchik.

Performers are asked to prepare 16 bars of a song and may be asked to sing from the show. Actors should bring sheet music in the appropriate key and dress comfortably for dancing. An accompanist will be provided. More audition information is available online at www.civictheatre.org.
