Auditions set for WISTA's How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying


WISTA, the West Island Student Theatre Association, is a non-profit organization founded in December 2006 as a way to allow post-secondary students to interact and perform in the wonderful world of musical theatre. I have seen them in action and this is one well oiled machine.

Well it is already that time of year again! Auditions for the first of the upcoming season's two musicals, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, slated for an opening night in January 2014, are happening. Originally appearing as a movie, it has been revived twice since then as a Broadway musical featuring Matthew Broderick and Daniel Radcliffe as the leading man. WISTA is now looking for the cast of business go-getters to support their  leading man.

Individual auditions are going to be held over two days, August 4 and 11 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Church of the Resurrection (99 Mount Pleasant) in  Pointe-Claire.  Call-backs will take place on August 18 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the same location.

To book your audition, e-mail info@WISTA.ca. Upon receipt of your request they will be in touch to give you the exact time of your individualized audition time.

This is a non-Equity and non-paying production. You must be a student enrolled in a post-secondary institution and be between the ages of 17 to 29. Here is a clip from the Broadway show.
