For our show band, we are specifically seeking musicians with proficiency in the following instruments:

• Bass
We are also seeking a Music Director and Arranger.
Musicians should feel comfortable reading sheet music and working on an abbreviated rehearsal timeline. Experienced cabaret musicians strongly encouraged to submit.
Multi-hyphenate artists may submit in multiple disciplines. Please submit only once if submitting in multiple disciplines; this submission form allows you to self-select into multiple disciplines and upload multiple files.
Team members receive a guaranteed stipend of $100 each. (e.g. $100 for Pianist, $200 for Pianist/MD, $300 for Pianist/MD/Arranger, etc.)
Note: While we are not necessarily seeking run crew or designers for this event, each artist who submits will be thoroughly considered, no matter their discipline. If our budget allows and we think it makes sense to bring you and your skill set on board, we will.
Performers/Musicians: In order to be considered, you MUST submit at least one video demonstrating your artistry. We are most interested in videos that you feel best represent you as an artist; video submissions can include self-tape material and do NOT need to include footage from past productions. Please limit each video submission to 5 minutes or less. Note: Performers need not be singers to submit. Drag artists need not self-tape in full drag.
