Youth entering 6th-12th grade for the 2024/2025 school year are invited to audition for our Summerstack Youth Production being presented July 25-28.We’ve been on a journey across the ocean on a giant peach, took you back in time for a history lesson on the Revolutionary War, went back even further to witness the creation of fire, and streamed Grimm’s fairy tales on TV…
Now, we are headed ten thousand years into the future to explore the galaxy with The Adventures of Captain Starblaster. With songs ranging from gospel ode to evil scheming, and from a doo-wop lament to a rousing alien dance extravaganza, this blast of a musical soars along with energy and quirky characters galore. It doesn’t get campier — or more fun! — than this high-flying adventure!
Registration is required. You will be contacted prior to the audition date by the Stage Manager, Emily Wilkerson, via email ([email protected]) with your call time to audition. You should arrive 5-10 minutes before your audition time to check-in with a volunteer in the lobby. Expect to be at the theater for about 30 minutes. As the day progresses time slots do tend to get backed up, so be prepared to be there longer than your scheduled time slot. You will audition for a casting panel consisting of the Director, Stage Manager, and Musical Director. There will be scripts or sides* available for a cold read** OR you can contact the Stage Manager prior to the audition to arrange picking up a script or sides to prepare ahead of time. While not required, we recommend the latter. You will also be required to sing about 1 minute of the song of your choice. This can be as basic as the Happy Birthday song. Do not let this intimidate you as there are roles which require little to no solos. If you have never auditioned, we highly recommend attending our Youth Theatre Camp June 10-14.
Registrants should be available for all rehearsals and performances unless prior approval is given by the Director.***
