Is your kid or teen actor a rising star? Director Sophie Taillefer’s take on “Les Misérables” is hitting the Scottish Rite Hall in Bordentown, New Jersey, for this Rising Stars Voice Studio production of the classic musical.

Based on the novel by French poet and novelist Victor Hugo, this all-sung musical is set during the French Revolution and follows Jean Valjean, a peasant turned on-the-run slave and community leader who’s forever tracked by the hound-like Inspector Javert.

All lead roles are up for grabs, including the iconic Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert, and they all call for young male actors aged 15–21. Fantine and Cosette, among others, are also looking for female actors of the same age. The role of Éponine is seeking actors as young as 12.

This nonunion paid gig is scheduled to run July 30 and July 31 and rehearse four times per week (Monday–Thursday) until then.
