Local playwright J.P. Chartier has penned his fourth musical, called Just Say the Word, and will be excited to share it with the public in June 2022. He and his production team will be holding auditions for all roles on Sept. 24 and 28.

“If you have ever wanted to find yourself onstage bringing a musical to life, then this is for you!” said Chartier. Coming off the success of his previous musical What if? in 2017 and the remount in 2019 in both Quebec City and Ottawa, Chartier can’t wait to present his latest full-length musical at La Méduse from June 15 to 18, 2022.

Just Say the Word boasts a cast of 20 with just as many original songs to fill a two-hour show. Chartier explained, “This exciting musical includes a range of songs with a little bit of hip hop, power ballads, ensemble pieces and I even wrote a sea shanty to round it all out.”

This cast requires both kids (age 10+) and adults to fill the many principal and secondary roles, making this an incredible opportunity for the anglophone community of all ages. Interested artists can contact the team at info@artbeattheatre.ca or by phone at 418-473-3690.
