Shakespeare Theatre to hold children's auditions

The Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre at UCA will hold open auditions for five children’s roles in The Sound of Music on Saturday, April 19 at 10 a.m. in the Bridges/Larson Theatre in the Snow Fine Arts Center on the UCA campus.

Girls, ages 6-12, may audition for the roles of Gretl, Marta, and Brigitta. Boys ages 12-15 may audition for the roles of Kurt and Friedrich. All other roles have been cast.

Students interested in auditioning should be familiar with music from the production, but no other preparation is necessary to audition. Auditionees are asked to arrive just prior to 10:00 am to fill out an audition form. Students should be available for a possible call-back in the afternoon.

Rehearsals will begin May 12th and those cast must be available to rehearse some afternoons between 2 and 4 and some evenings between 6pm and 10pm. Performances will be June 12, 13, 15, 21, 26 and 29. Children’s director for The Sound of Music is Ruthann Curry Browne, director of the Youth Theatre of Central Arkansas.

Information can also be obtained by calling Browne at 450-5610.
