Kid Performers Needed for "The Snow White Musicapalooza" Play
Children in grades Kindergarten through 8th are eligible to audition for "The Snow White Musicapalooza" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: Can’t decide between a Western or a mystery, a farce or a spoof, or something else? Then this is the show for you! Playing with a variety of ever-changing story genres and musical styles, this fast-paced, musical extravaganza has something for everyone! Your audience becomes the live studio audience on a talk show, Real Talk with Fairytale Legends, where the seven dwarves tell the story of Snow White as the Fairytale Players bring it to life. As each new dwarf takes a turn telling or singing different parts of Snow White’s famous story in his or her own unique voice, the players’ re-enactment shifts to match the style and personality of that particular dwarf. At any given moment, the story can be anything — romance, home improvement show, suspense, epic poetry, cooking show, stand-up routine, or blockbuster action movie! There’s even a “Miss Fairest of Them All” beauty pageant! Of course, as the genres change to suit the story, so do the musical styles for an evening of great fun and entertainment! Additional info: Children will be asked to sing a portion of a song and read from the script in front of an audition panel. Song: Children will be asked to sing a song of their choice. (Disney and show tunes are great suggestions for an audition song). Children should provide their own background accompaniment to sing along to (karaoke tracks, instrumental tracks etc). Directors will not be providing accompaniment during the audition. Script reading: At the audition, children will be given a copy of the script and assigned a character to read for. They will read out loud in a small group with other children. Younger children may not be asked to read from the script. SHOW DETAILS: The musical will take place on June 12th, 13th, and 14th at the Historic Casino Theatre in Vandergrift PA. ALL CHILDREN PARTICIPATING IN THE SHOW MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF TECH WEEK WHICH RUNS SUNDAY JUNE 8TH THROUGH SATURDAY JUNE 14TH. Rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the ACT Rehearsal Space in Worthington from 6:15-8:15 pm. Additional rehearsal days will be scheduled (possibly Friday evenings or Saturday Mornings, this is TBD at a later date). If interested, please apply.
