TPAC Casting Two Local Little Girls for “Waitress”

The national tour of the hit Broadway musical comes to Nashville in June. Two local girls will be cast to perform the role of “Lulu!”

A sweet-as-pie opportunity awaits little girls who love the limelight: The national touring production of Waitress comes to TPAC this summer (June 5 – 10), and the producers of the show are looking for two local little girls to share the role of “Lulu” during the Nashville run. Each child will perform in four shows!

LULU CHARACTER SYNOPSIS

The character of “Lulu” is a sweet, carefree 4- to 5-year-old who appears in the production’s final scene.

AUDITION INFO

TPAC hosts auditions with the Waitress producer on Saturday, March 10 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1 – 3 p.m.

Auditioning girls must be shorter than 4’2” and no older than 5 years and 3 months. Individual applicants are welcome as well as sets of twins or siblings. Space is limited to the first 50 applicants who sign up at TPAC’s website.

Auditioners will read two lines from the show. If available, bring your child’s current headshot and acting resumé. Headshots, resumés and acting experience are not requirements for this opportunity, however.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Based on Adrienne Shelley’s 2007 film of the same name, Waitress tells the story of Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker. She dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county — and the town’s new doctor — may offer her the shot at a new start.

The Tony-nominated musical features original music and lyrics by six-time Grammy Award nominee Sara Bareilles.

Act fast, because audition spots are sure to fill up quickly. To sign up your child for an audition, go to tpac.org/lulu.
