Dance Opportunities for Kids in "Tuck Everlasting"
"Tuck Everlasting" auditions are open to students from kindergarten–seniors in high school. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck’s unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life, or continue with the Tucks on their infinite journey. Additional info: Those interested should prepare a 30-to 60-second song of their choosing and are expected to bring sheet music for piano accompaniment. A pianist will be provided. Songs should be something the child is comfortable with and show off their range. Each child will be allowed to read for 2 parts – one of their choosing and one of the director’s choosing.
