The Theatre & Music Departments at Chattanooga State are thrilled to partner with ChattState's Writers at Work in Spring 2020 to bring you the musical BIG FISH (music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, book by John August)! We are especially looking forward to this, because we will be welcoming Daniel Wallace (author of Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions) to campus during the week of the show and to the opening night performance.

We are excited to announce OPEN auditions for all roles for this production. We invite any actors in the Chattanooga community to audition for this production of BIG FISH. We are looking to cast 18 teens/adults (high school and above) and one young boy (age 8-12) in this production. More information on the show can be found at: www.theatricalrights.com/show/big-fish/

Please see the photo with information about auditions, and let us know if you have questions! We hope to see you at auditions in January!
