"Oliver" Looking for Kids & Teens

Auditions for "Oliver" are available for all children who are 11 years old or older. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family. Additional info: Prepare a 16-bar cut (approx. 1 minute long) song in the style of the show. You may use a karaoke track or sing a capella. Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in to learn a short dance. You will also do a cold read from the script. If you are auditioning for the role of OLIVER, you will need to sing “Where is Love?” Bring a headshot/recent photo of yourself with you to the audition. Rehearsals will be three times a week.
