Auditions for Willy Wonka


Some of you are already aware of how excited we are for the Spring Youth Theater production of Willy Wonka! The show will take place Wednesday, March 17th - Saturday, March 20th.
We have two returning directors who we have SO enjoyed working with in the past and who we know will do a fantastic job with this production: Michael Nielsen and Carol Thomas! They have assembled a strong production team with Lori Dalley as a Producer, Bobbi Bennett as Stage Manager and Kathy Seegmiller as Costume and Set Designer. We encourage anyone who is even slightly interested to come and participate! It is going to ROCK!

Come prepared to sing 16 bars of an upbeat Broadway showtune and to do cold readings if you would like a speaking park. You will also be required to do some movement and dancing. A participation fee of $15.00 for residents and $25.00 for non-residents and a $75.00 volunteer deposite will be required in order to audition.

All of your favorite characters are here in this stage adaptation of the Disney hit, including Aladdin, Jasmine, and of course, the Genie. Filled with magic, mayhem, and flying carpet rides, your spirit will soar with excitement. Most of all, we haven’t left out the Academy award-winning score with songs including “A Whole New World” and “Friend Like Me” that will have you singing along! Fun for the whole family, we invite you to out Fall Youth Theater “Aladdin Jr.”
