CURRENT AUDITIONS
SecondStory Repertory is holding auditions for our 2025 production of Ordinary Days by Adam Gwon. Directed by Scot Charles Anderson with Music Direction by Gabe Mangiante.
Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is an original musical for anyone who's ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York such a unique and extraordinary City.
The show runs May 9-25, 2025. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays at 8pm, Sunday matinees on May 18, 2025 and May 25, 2025 at 2pm. Rehearsal schedule is Sunday-Wednesday 7pm-10pm (tech week 7pm-11pm). Rehearsals begin Sunday April 6, 2025. First tech is on Sunday May 4, 2025.
