The CM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER is holding open auditions for BEHOLD THE MOMENT on Wednesday, September 30 & Thursday, October 8 at 7PM.  Please prepare a 16 – 32 bar cut of any song.  An accompanist will be provided.

Please note, the CM Performing Arts Center is a non-profit community theatre. All of our performers are volunteers, however we understand the sacrifices and commitment actors make to our community. All performers will receive a $20 travel stipend per performance at the culmination of the production.

Please bring possible rehearsal and/or performance conflicts to the auditions. The CM Performing Arts Center is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in the casting and encourages actors of diverse backgrounds and underrepresented groups to audition. Video submissions will be accepted if you are unable to attend the audition date. Please send a video submission along with headshot and resume to Ashlyn@cmpac.com  by Thursday, October 8. 

Rehearsals could take place on weeknight evenings.  A schedule will be made around the performers’ availability.  Performances will take place throughout December at various parishes across Long Island as well as at the CM Performing Arts Center.  A list of currently scheduled performances can be found at: https://www.cmpac.com/attend-a-service-behold/
