Casting complete: Applications now closed.

Echelon Productions is a multi award-winning theatrical producer and one of the largest touring theatre companies across Australia and New Zealand. Based in Melbourne, the company has been established since 2000 and in that time has produced a number of Helpmann Award and Green Room Award nominated plays and musicals.

Also operating as Perform Educational Musicals, which specialises in touring educational musicals for schools across Australia and New Zealand, the company employs around 50 performers throughout the year.
Our educational theatre division is holding auditions across New Zealand during the first week of December 2009 for our 2010 production celebrating NZ Storylines Festival. This year we have been celebrating 10 years of Book Week musicals and in this time have performed to over one million students.

The performances, which take place within schools, are highly interactive and feature action packed narratives, appealing, identifiable characters, loads of comedy, singing and dancing that captivate and engage all audiences, including teachers! Question time at the conclusion of the performance reinforces the learning outcomes.

Casts of two perform up to three shows a day in schools within a one hour radius of the central city area. Each cast will have one performer nominated as the team driver who must have access to their own reliable car for the contracted period. Both cast members are required to bump in and out the basic set which takes around 20 minutes either side of performance.

All productions are one hour musicals and include PA and individual headset microphones for each performer.

Cast requirements:
Performers are the ambassadors of the company and significant role models for thousands of students and this means we have high standards for hiring performers.
Age: between 20 and early 30s
Skills: strong singing voices, excellent comedic inventive acting and ability to move well.
