Join Jill as a “line up” of characters (the Big Bad Wolf, Goldilocks and the Troll) are questioned about the sudden changes occurring in the fairy tales she reads with her grandma. With the help of the Cop, Jack and The Three (Little Pigs/Bears/Billy Goats/Blind Mice), Jill learns that though real life may not be a fairy tale, it can be just as amazing!
There will be choreography to accompany all musical numbers, so an ease in movement will be an asset.
The audition process will consist of:
- a prepared musical theatre song to be sung a cappella (vocals only) *no pop songs please.
- a dance component, where we will teach you movement to one of the dance numbers, and you will dance with a group.
- cold readings from the play, or outside sources, in an effort to see how you are able to develop a character.
Any questions please contact the director Clare Flockton at clareflockton@me.com , or one the production managers: Shelley Jean Harrison atjellybean080@hotmail.com , or Sonia Francis at soniafrancis@gmail.com
If you are interested in working backstage, please come to the auditions and meet with one of the Production Managers (Shelley, or Sonia). We would love to have you on the team.
