[NEohioPAL] CORRECTED: Auditions for Beck Center Youth Theater’s OUR TOWN!

[Jonathan Kronenberger]

Beck Center for the Arts Youth Theater is scheduling auditions for the final production of our 2012-2013 Season:

Our Town


Written by Thornton Wilder

Directed by Jonathan Kronenberger

Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, audiences follow the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually—in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre—die. Our Town reminds us to recognize that life is both precious and ordinary, and that these two fundamental truths are intimately connected.

Audition dates:

Saturday, September 15: 2:30 to 6:30 pm
& Sunday, September 16: 1:00 to 5:00 pm

Please sign up for a one hour time slot at Beck Center’s Customer Service Desk (216.521.2540 x10).


What to Prepare:

Students are asked to prepare a short speech.  Older actors should present their audition monologue.  Younger and/or newer actors can use a simple nursery rhyme or poem to recite. Memorization is encouraged.
