Playmakers to Hold Youth Auditions

The Playmakers’ fall youth production, is a musical version of some of Aesop’s most charming Fables, titled “Don’t Count Your Chickens Until They Cry Wolf.” Auditions are scheduled for Tuesday, June 13 at 7:00 pm and Saturday, June 17 at 10:00 am, at Off Broadway Arts, 121 W. 3rd, in Grove. Audition sign-ups are preferred. Performances are September 15-24.
There are roles for students, 6 – 18 years of age. Students must be able to sing, either solo or with a group. Dance is not required for all characters, but an ease of movement is preferable. Please call The Playmakers at 918-786-8950. If you wish to audition, but your summer vacation or camp is during the scheduled audition times, please leave a message for the director, Suzanne Boles, to arrange a different audition date.
After casting, the music will be distributed to the appropriate characters. Cast members must have the music learned when regular rehearsals begin mid-July. Because of the nature of the scenes in the play, most having only a few characters in them, The Playmakers will make an effort to be flexible with regard to July rehearsal schedules.
Written by Carol Lynn Pearson, with music by JAC Redford, the play was commissioned by Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute. Highlights include the famous race of the tortoise and the hare, a soft shoe number by the fox, a chorus line of sheep, and a rousing peasant dance in the bundle of sticks. There’s even some audience participation.
Students and/or parents who would like to work backstage, or help with lighting, sound, costumes or sets, should notify the director as soon as possible.
