This is what you’re meant to do. You just don’t know it yet. Before she captivated the world as Grammy Award-winning Latin pop icon Gloria Estefan, she was Glorita. Coming of age in 1970s Miami, young Gloria breaks from family expectations and embarks on a musical journey with bandmate Emilio. On Your Feet! tells the story of this power couple’s rise from humble beginnings to international sensation. You’ll be dancing in the aisles to “Rhythm is Gonna Get You,” “Conga,” “Oye Me Canto,” and “On Your Feet!”
Garden Theatre Audition Statement: While the Garden Theatre strongly encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, as well as performers with disabilities to submit for our general auditions, we also recognize that it is important to cast with intentionality. For this specific role we are seeking an actor that is a male-identifying member of the Latinx community.
Health and Safety: Productions will be live on stage at Garden Theatre, following strict health and safety protocols for all actors, designers, staff, crew, volunteers, and guests.
