[NEohioPAL] Canal Fulton Players- Auditions for the Sound of Music April 4-5

[DVangaasbe at aol.com]

A year ago the Canal Fulton  Players pushed themselves to the limits to 
bring the musical “ANNIE” to life on  our stage. This year, we have done it 
again by taking on one of greatest and  most well known stories in movie and 
musical theatre history, “THE SOUND OF  MUSIC”!!! No small feat for such a 
young theatre, but with the support of our  audiences and fans, a production 
such as this is the perfect challenge for us,  and we aim to deliver a 
performance worthy of their  patronage.

We have a  director (Matt King), producer (David Van Gaasbeek), stage 
manager (David Van  Gaasbeek), musical director (Jackie Piatt), choreographer 
(Brandy Foutty), crew,  musicians, and techs but NO CAST!!! 
 
Fortunately, that is where you come in! Open auditions will be held on  
April 4th & 5th, 7-9p.m. call backs (if necessary) on the 6th and castings  
will be done on the 7th with the first rehearsal starting on the 11th! We are  
inviting all of you and anyone you know who might be interested to come on 
out  and try for a part! All are welcome, from those gunning for a lead, to 
those who  just want to be a part of the ensemble!   The site of the 
auditions is  the Canal Fulton United Methodist Church, 363 West Cherry Street, 
Canal Fulton,  Ohio 44614.  West Cherry Street is part of State Route  93.


Those who  are interested will be asked to sing a song that shows off their 
vocal strengths  and range. Auditioners will have the option of performing 
with a pianist or CD;  words do not need to be memorized. Also, there will 
be a reading from excerpts  of the script for both individual and group 
scenes where the director will  assign various parts to view the actors ability, 
range, and chemistry with other  performers.

The cast  list is rather vast so there is ample opportunity to get the part 
you want! We  are anticipating an intense competition for the covetous role 
of Maria, so to  all the leading ladies out there, be sure to bring your “A”
 game! No experience  needed, and the only factors that might hinder those 
qualified from being cast  in their desired role would conflicts with the 
rehearsal schedule (only a 45 day  schedule: equivalent to a month & a half) 
or obviously performance dates,  which are June 23rd-26th.
