Vocal Company

The Vocal Company or VC is, for 2021, a 16 member ensemble (8 identifying male and 8 identifying female) typically made up of undergraduate and graduate performance majors, although majoring in performance is not a prerequisite.  All principal roles will be cast before the season begins. 

VC members receive vocal and dance training as part of the weekly rehearsal process.  The schedule is both demanding and highly rewarding.  While one show is being performed in the evening, the following week's show is being rehearsed during the day.  Rehearsal begins at 9:30 a.m. with a break for lunch at 12:00 and then continues from 1:30 until 5:00 with a performance in the evening.  There are six performances of each show, Tuesday, Wednesday Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and  2:00 p.m. matinee performances on Thursday and Friday. There is a Sitzprobe on Saturday afternoon,  a technical rehearsal on Sunday evening, and a dress rehearsal on Monday evening. 

In addition to the regular season of nine shows, CLOC proudly participates in events that elevate our local community of Falmouth, MA. Examples of such events include an Independence Day Concert, performance at the local Arts Alive Festival, as well as volunteer-based opportunities.

All Company members are assigned chores that help keep the campus and theatre running.

Members of the VC must arrive on campus by 6:00 p.m. Friday, June 4, 2021 and depart by noon on Sunday, August 22, 2021. 

The entire company is required to participate in a final strike on the evening of Saturday, August 21, 2021. 

Exceptions to these dates will be considered on a case by case basis.

VC Members are paid room, board and a small stipend. 

Audition Requirements:  Short contemporary monologue, please no Shakespeare.  One Operetta/Opera  Aria in English.  Please no foreign languages. One Musical Theatre up-tempo and one Musical Theatre ballad in contrasting styles. Cuts are welcome. 

​Applications must be received by midnight Monday March 1st.

We will be holding virtual callbacks, you will be informed of the status of your application by Friday March 5th.
