Open auditions for The Diva Taunia Dolls Burlesque! We are the Lowell areas largest production – with a cast and crew of 50+ people. While we promote ourselves as burlesque and there’s plenty of opportunity for solo burlesque numbers, our strength is our full-scale song and dance productions: singing, dancing, costuming, comedy, drama, and more!

We pride ourselves on including anyone and everyone who wants a place in the show- whether it’s behind the scenes, helping out the night of the performances, as a soloist, or as a cast member (singing, dancing). Everyone performs at their own comfort level – and we have a wide range of “types” of performances – from fully costumed to down to the tassles. Everyone involved decides their level of comfort and has a choice in the numbers they perform. We do have a “seniority” performing order, although exceptions are often made. (All performance and solo decisions are made by Diva Taunia, The Executive Artistic Director & Choreographer.) We have a really friendly group, and we celebrate diversity! All are welcome: women, men, drag queens, anyone who wants to be part of the show is considered!

We do two large-scale productions a year, our next being for Halloween at Gemstones Nightclub on Saturday, 10/22 at 9pm. The theme is obviously Halloween, but we’re also vamping it up with gothic, dark, and intense performances this time around. (Our theme changes for each performance). Throughout the year we will do smaller performances – guest appearances at other shows, festivals, etc. The level of commitment depends on how many numbers you perform in. We typically rehearse on Sundays at the venue and on Wednesday nights in North Chelmsford, MA. Much of our learning and practicing is done via video tutorials that are kept private, but up online for cast members to be able to practice at home.

Important to Note: this is a *volunteer* opportunity. All ticket proceeds go directly towards maintaining the group and giving performances large-scale opportunities to strut their stuff. Our group is about empowering women (and men!) to be self-confident, sexy, and secure in a supportive, dynamic, and super-fun environment. We think of it like a community theatre production – performers are in it for the experience.

AUDITIONS – CAST & CREW: 

CREW: While you do not have to “audition” in the typical sense of the word, we would like to meet you in person so that we can mutually decide on a good fit within the crew.

SINGERS AND DANCERS: Singers should come prepared to sing a song that shows off their voice. Please have a full song prepared, although we may stop you after a verse and chorus in the interest of time. Please bring a backup track with you (instrumental versions only – no leads should be on the track). You will also be asked to perform the song described in the next section.

DANCERS: you will be asked to learn and audition the following dance via video tutorial.
