CURRENT AUDITIONS

SecondStory Repertory is holding auditions for our March 2026 production of “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” Book & Lyrics by Tom MacRae, Music by Dan Gillespie Sells, From an idea by Jonathan Butterell. Directed and Choreographed by Harry Turpin. Music Direction by Olivia Pedroza. Costume Design by Krista Lofgren. Stage Management by Meredith Zandi

Inspired by a true story, "Everybody's Talking About Jamie" is the joyous and uplifting musical sensation about Jamie New, a sixteen-year-old who doesn't quite fit in. Instead of pursuing a traditional career, Jamie dreams of becoming a drag queen. With the unwavering support of his mum and friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice and bullies to step out of the darkness and into the spotlight. Featuring an infectious pop score, dazzling choreography, and a powerful message of acceptance and self-discovery, this show is a vibrant celebration of individuality that will leave you cheering.
