We have been given exclusive permission to do the first-ever zoom-type presentation of this musical version of the famous book series by Jeff Kinney. This is by arrangement with the authors, Broadway Licensing, and Alchemation. No other theatre company has access to this material so we feel fortunate and grateful for this wonderful opportunity.
To get a sense of the style of the musical here is a link to the world premiere production which was done at The Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis, MN:

The program will be entirely virtual and will take place between June 21 and July 9, 2021.
The final edited version will not be available until fall of 2021.
For the audition please prepare a one-minute monologue/poem/reading from a book and a one-minute cut from a song. The song will be a cappella (without accompaniment).
