SPRING 2025
Radium girls Auditions
In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire. Written with warmth and humor, Radium Girls is a fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble piece for 9 to 10 actors, who play more than 30 parts—friends, co-workers, lovers, relatives, attorneys, scientists, consumer advocates, and myriad interested bystanders. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.

Inside Scoop Auditions
Dive into the vibrant and imaginative inner world of Luke, a teen boy navigating the complexities of life in Inside Scoop, a groundbreaking original production from STAND Performing Arts. Featuring a dynamic pop score composed exclusively for the show, this musical offers a fresh and insightful exploration of the interplay between Luke’s emotions, body, and spirit.
In a style reminiscent of Inside Out, Inside Scoop introduces audiences to Luke’s inner self: Soulina, his melodramatic and emotion-driven soul; Brody, his tough, overconfident body; and Sam, his wise and thoughtful spirit. Together, they must unite to guide Luke forward as he faces an epic battle for control of his inner world.
The stakes rise with the introduction of two opposing forces: the spunky Abundant Life Cheerleaders (ALC), representing positivity and encouragement, and the menacing Steal, Kill, and Destroyers (SKDS), a gritty motorcycle gang bent on dragging Luke down. The fierce clash between the ALC and SKDS threatens to throw Luke’s life into chaos, forcing Soulina, Brody, and Sam to work together to bring harmony to his mind, body, and spirit.
With its high-energy choreography, unforgettable characters, and inspiring original music, Inside Scoop is an exhilarating journey of self-discovery and resilience, designed to inspire audiences of all ages to overcome life’s challenges and embrace their own unique purpose.
