DISASTER! THE MUSICAL Auditions

We’re pleased to host an open casting call for our upcoming production of Disaster! The Musical!

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Disaster! is a campy jukebox musical parody of 1970s disaster films, packed with hit songs from the era and a boatload of absurdity. When a group of mismatched passengers boards a floating casino for its grand opening, chaos strikes as earthquakes, tidal waves, and killer bees threaten everyone on board. It’s a wild, laugh-out-loud tribute to disco, danger, and the decade of big hair and bigger drama—with beloved pop hits like “Hot Stuff,” “I Will Survive,” and “Knock on Wood.”

May 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 2026

Director & Choreographer: Jocelyn Geronimo

PREPARATIONS

• Please prepare 16-32 bars of a pop/rock song from any decade.

• An accompanist will be provided. A bluetooth speaker will be available for instrumental tracks. No acapella auditions.

• There will be a dance combination taught after vocal auditions. Please bring clothes to change into that will allow you to move well! No high-heels for either vocals or dance due to the dance flooring that will be on the stage for a separate event.

• You may be asked to read selections from the script, depending on time.

• Please bring a headshot and resume. (If you pre-register, we will have your headshot and resume at the audition.)

• Please bring ALL known conflicts between March 9 – May 17, 2026.

REHEARSAL INFORMATION

• Although the schedules are currently not set, productions typically rehearse *select* weeknights (Monday – Friday, anywhere between 6:30pm – 10:00pm.) Occasional weekend rehearsals will occur depending on the conflicts and needs of the production.

• Rehearsals will be held onsite at Players by the Sea and SET Studios, both in the Jacksonville Beaches area. If additional offsite locations are needed, these will be communicated to the cast with as much advance notice possible.
