I want to do a song in my audition

I am in the middle of changing jobs, so my schedule is a little up in the air, so the sooner I know when I'm scheduled to audition, the more likely it is I'll be able to request that time off.

Thank you!

Give the auditors more information about yourself.

Alexei Cifrese's mission (insofar as he has one) is to make Weird and Wonderful art. He is also terrible at writing bios. So, in lieu of that, he would like to tell you about some projects he did over the past couple years that he's proud of:

1. In 2021, he and Brendan Mack created an online choose-your-own-adventure play called Vampires of the Neverwood. It tells the story of a pole dancing warrior who must team up with her estranged librarian sister and 3 unlikely heroes to rescue the Sol Stone from the titular Vampires of the Neverwood before their world is plunged into eternal darkness. The play featured 6 live actors playing multiple roles interacting with 20+ filmed actors green-screened onto hand-drawn animated backgrounds. The end result resembled something like a 90s point-and-click adventure game, and it was awesome.

2. This past January, he debuted a 45-min version of his first solo show: Phantom of the Opera but Every Character Sings a Different Language and also I Play All the Parts. This utterly chaotic piece of theatre is a Burlesque reinterpretation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's gothic melodrama musical. And as a bit of extra fun, the audience chooses which character sings what language. The January version covered Act 1 and featured only the 3 principle characters, along with 3 languages: Spanish, Japanese, and French. In July, he plans to further develop the show by still keeping it to the 3 main characters, but adding Act 2 and Russian to the mix.
If you're scared but intrigued, he encourages you to join the mailing list. Which you can do by emailing him at NachtMusik93@gmail.com.

3. Oh yes, he also narrated his first audiobook I Guess We're Heroes, by long-time friend and Dungeon Master extraordinaire Graham Fluster. If you like Sci-Fi narrated by a guy whose accents run the gauntlet from very good to hilariously awful, then he invites you to check that out on Amazon.com.
