'Auditions for ‘The Pirates of Penzance’

This weekend, the Camarata Music Company (CMC) is holding auditions for their spring musical, ``The Pirates of Penzance.'' Auditions will be held on Sunday and Monday, and rehearsals will begin on the weekend of May 8-9.

The first performance will be on June 5. The performance is for a summer camp for multi-cultural children, put on by Seoul National University of Education's Department for Multicultural Affairs. There will be a second, and possibly a third performance scheduled on weekends in mid to late June.

Along with stage performers, CMC say they are looking for musicians and a small orchestra, as well as stagehands, and behind the scenes workers.

All roles are available. Singing and acting experience is preferred, but is not a requirement.

One song should be prepared for the audition; something that shows your ability. There will also be script reading. A pianist will be provided for the audition.

Contact Ryan at 010-9806-8655 or

for an audition time.
