Singing Opportunities for Kids in "The Enchanted Bookshop"

Granite City, IL, United States
ID: 583803Exp: 4/25/2025
Description:

Looking for youth performers ages 10-18 years old for "The Enchanted Bookshop" Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: An ordinary used book shop by day, A Likely Story, becomes a magical place each night. Thanks to a spell from the Book Fairy, the characters inside the books come alive each and every night. Six of those characters — Dorothy Gale, Robin Hood, Pollyanna, Sherlock Holmes, Heidi, and Tom Sawyer — long to help Margie, the scatterbrained owner, save her struggling store. But they’re not allowed to leave the building or be seen by human eyes. So when a pair of bungling smugglers comes looking for a stolen necklace hidden inside one of the books, the characters are torn. Should they warn Margie and risk disappearing forever? Or can they find a way to defeat the crooks without being seen? Additional info: Prepare one 16-32 bar cut of an upbeat musical theater song (Preferred, but any song will do!) No accompanist will be provided. Bring a backing track or be prepared to sing acapella. Actors will be asked to read from the script. (Optional) Bring a headshot and resume, if one is available Rehearsals will occur on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm and Sundays from 1 pm to 4 pm, beginning May 5th.
