New Tampa Players Auditioning for Singin' In The Rain Musical

New Tampa Players, a community theater group, is looking for talented tap dancers to join the cast of its upcoming musical production of Singing in the Rain, based on the classic 1952 film starring Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds. The show will run from July 19 to 28, 2024, at the New Tampa Performing Arts Center.

Singing in the Rain is a musical comedy that tells the story of Hollywood's transition from silent films to talkies in the late 1920s. It features some of the most iconic song-and-dance numbers in cinema history, such as "Good Morning," "Make 'em Laugh," and the title song, "Singin' in the Rain."

New Tampa Players is looking for male and female tap dancers of all ages and experience levels and dancers who can also sing and act. The show is directed by Nora Paine, with musical direction by G. Frank Meekins and choreography by Sarah Walston.

Says Paine, "We are very excited to bring this classic musical to the New Tampa Performing Arts Center. We need tappers to do it! Our choreographer, Sarah Walston, is looking for an 8-person dance ensemble for this piece."

• Dance Auditions: Saturday, April 27 from 10 am-3 pm @ New Tampa Performing Arts Center

• Vocal Auditions: Monday, April 29, and Tuesday, April 30, from 7–10 pm @ Uptown Stage
