Butlertown Productions is looking to cast parts for Hand-me-down Heartache The Musical. Auditions will be held December 1, 2012, in Indianapolis. This musical stage play is adapted from the #1 Essence Bestselling Novel, Hand-me-down Heartache by Tajuana TJ Butler. It is an inspirational drama about a young lady and her family’s journey of breaking the cycle of family abuse. For your talent and contribution, you will receive a small fee, a credit, a reel, and more importantly, additional experience. This will be a great opportunity for actors and actresses who are either triple or quadruple threats (sing, dance, act, and in some cases are comedians) and would like to be a part of a dramatic musical stage play that has the potential to become a touring play.
If you have a reel, please send a link in your email along with your headshot, resume and phone number to email address listed. In your email please include your age and the best contact PHONE NUMBER for you. In the subject line, please include: “Hand-me-down Heartache The Musical, [Character you’d like to be considered for].”
