"A Thousand Cranes" Show Needs Young Performers

Looking for kids ages 11-14 years old for "A Thousand Cranes" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: The true and poignant story of Sadako Saski, who was 2 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, where she lived. Sadako, now 12 years old, is an excellent athlete who races daily with her friend Kenji. However, one day while running, Sadako gets dizzy and falls. She is hospitalized, and it is discovered that she has "radiation sickness," or leukemia—an effect of the bombing. At the hospital, Kenji reminds her of the old story about the crane. If a sick person folds a thousand origami cranes, the gods will grant her wish and make her healthy again. Sadako happily begins folding hundreds of beautiful, colorful paper cranes. Additional info: Auditions will consist of a lyrical dance & movement audition as well as readings from provided materials. Performances will be February 17, 18, 23, 24 & 25 at 7 pm and February 19 & 26 at 2 pm. Rehearsals will run Mondays - Thursdays, 6:30 - 8:30.
