Auditions for “Brigadoon” at Cottage Theatre set for Jan. 27

Cottage Grove, OR — Cottage Theatre will hold auditions on Saturday, January 27 for the Lerner and Loewe musical, Brigadoon. Auditions are scheduled at 3:00 pm, and will take place at Cottage Theatre, 700 Village Drive, in Cottage Grove. A cast of 30 to 35 actors (ages 8 – 80) is needed for this Highlands tale where time stops and love blooms. Brigadoon will run for four weekends from April 5 – 28, 2024. The show is directed and choreographed by Pamela Lehan-Siegel.

Featuring such standards as “Almost Like Being in Love,” and “Come to Me, Bend to Me,” Lerner and Loewe’s Brigadoon is a timeless, romantic classic which vividly brings the mystery and magic of the Scottish Highlands to life. New Yorkers Tommy and Jeff are vacationing in Scotland when they stumble upon a mysterious village that doesn’t appear on any map. At first the Americans are puzzled by the habits and outdated clothing of the residents, but soon they are charmed. Tommy finds himself drawn to Fiona, and Jeff flirts with Meg. But when a villager tries to leave, the men learn the complex truth: Brigadoon is under a spell, and only comes awake for one day every one hundred years. And if anyone succeeds in leaving, that spell will be broken and Brigadoon, along with its people, will disappear forever.

Brigadoon auditions will involve both singing and dancing. Callbacks, which are scheduled for Sunday, January 28 at 7:30 pm will include reading from the script. Pre-registration for auditions is requested.
