BELFAST — "Big Fish" will be making a big splash at Belfast Maskers this summer. With music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and the book by John August, "Big Fish" (Small Cast Edition) is based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the film directed by Tim Burton.

The small cast edition calls for 12–15 cast members to tell the larger-than-life stories of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to the fullest. His son, Will, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales.

With characters ranging from mermaids to witches to giants, the production team is looking for a small, talented ensemble to play a variety of roles—all of which demand strong singing skills. The script calls for 6 adult male roles, 5–7 adult female roles, and 1 role for a young boy.

Auditions will be held Tuesday, May 9, from 5 - 8 p.m., and Saturday, May 13, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. If needed, callbacks will be held on the afternoon of Sunday, May 14.

Auditionees need to come prepared to sing a Broadway-style song. Please bring a recorded accompaniment track on your personal device; a blue-tooth speaker will be provided to amplify the track. Reading and group movement will follow the individual singing auditions.

Production dates are July 27–30 and August 3–6.
