Here is what I found on their website:
The New Conservatory Theater Center is pleased to announce auditions of the Bay Area Premiere for their upcoming production of Zanna Don’t, Book, Music and Lyrics by Tim Acito.
About the show: In this musical fairytale set at Heartsville High, the school's magical matchmaker, Zanna, is determined as ever to make sure everyone in town, gay and straight, is happily paired up.
Casting the following roles: (Non-AEA and must be able to play high school age on stage) :
Zanna (tenor/baritone to high G): the heart and soul of Heartsville; a hip, fun-loving matchmaker, driven to make the world better, even if he doesn’t always fully think through his choices.
Steve (baritone to Eb above middle C): the new guy in town; All-American high school football hunk, but self-effacing and shy; hoping desperately to fit in, his dreams will be alternately fulfilled and shattered.
Kate (belt to C, plus a few other high notes mixed in): sweet, innocent over-achiever who, like Steve, is not quite prepared to have her world thrown upside-down.
Mike (tenor/baritone to high G): all-around cool guy; captain of the chess team, which makes him king of the school, but with humble appreciation of the simple joys in life, like finding that one special guy to settle down with.
Roberta (belt to high F): tough as nails on the outside, a hopeless romantic on the inside; perennial unlucky in relationships, she heroically, and comically, never gives up her pursuit of true love.
Tank (tenor/baritone to high G): Zanna’s sidekick, and the school DJ; somewhere between nerdy and ultra-cool, he’s also hopelessly in love with Zanna.
Candi (belt to C, plus a few higher notes mixed in): the school’s narrow-minded busy-body, the one you love to hate.
Buck (baritone to Eb; should have a few low notes as well): Candi’s browbeaten sidekick; a nice guy who just sort of goes with the flow.
When: Saturday, September 6 th from 12-5:30pm w/Call-Backs on Monday, September 8 th @ 6pm (Call-Backs will be by invitation only).

"In the U.S.A.
You can have your say,
You can set you goals
And seize the day,
You've been given the freedom
To work your way
To the head of the line-
To the head of the line!"
---Stephen Sondheim
