PCT is excited to announce audition information for its Fall 2019 production of Big Fish!
Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him—most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. Overflowing with heart and humor, Big Fish is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theater—for an experience that’s richer, funnier and bigger than life itself.
Auditions will be held at Epiphany Lutheran Church (268 Hill Road North, Pickerington, Ohio 43147).
The production will be directed by Damon Barnett.

Tentative Rehearsal Schedule:
Friday evenings
Saturdays – 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Sundays – 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Rehearsals are scheduled so that only specific cast members are needed depending on what is being rehearsed.
The audition process has some very simple steps:
1) You will be asked to fill out an audition form. Audition forms will be available at auditions or you can click HERE to download a fillable PDF that you can complete ahead of time and bring with you. Click HERE for character descriptions. You may attach a resume and picture to your audition form if you wish but it is not required. Please bring a calendar that includes conflicts.
2) You will have your picture taken and a number will be assigned to you.
3) Be prepared to sing part of a song of your choice (no more than a minute long). A piano is available for use. A capella singing, CD, or Bluetooth accompaniment is also fine but you will not be permitted to use printed lyrics or the screen on your device. If using recorded accompaniment, be prepared to know exactly when to start and stop the recording for your audition. It is recommended that you use a track that does not require a cellphone or wi-fi signal. Please do not sing a song from Big Fish.
4) In the event you are unable to attend auditions but wish to audition via a video, please make arrangements with the director ahead of time. He can be reached at j.damonbarnett@gmail.com.
5) We will have a dance audition at callbacks on Sunday. This show will have featured dancers so even if you feel you may not have the vocal prowess to take on a lead or featured role, please come show us your dance ability. There will additionally be a tap dance audition for those wish to be in the tap number (those auditioning for the role of Sandra may be required for this as well). IF YOU ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN FEATURED DANCING ROLES, PLEASE INDICATE THAT ON YOUR AUDITION FORM.
You will receive notification via phone call/email by Saturday evening, August 3, 2019 if you are being asked to come to callbacks. Every role will be called back including ensemble. Spoken roles will be selected out of the ensemble. As such, we will require everyone to attend callbacks on Sunday. Final cast list will be sent via email by Wednesday evening, August 7, 2019 and posted on our website.
