ABOUT SWINGS

As a swing, your job is to learn several ensemble tracks (and sometimes a few larger roles, depending on the show) so you’re ready to jump in if someone in the cast can’t perform. You’ll still be on stage for every performance in a few select group numbers, and you’ll always get to take a bow at the end of the show.

We’re looking for strong singers, dancers, and actors who are reliable and adaptable—people we can count on to help keep the show going no matter what. It’s a great chance for experienced performers to grow and challenge themselves in a new way.
