It’s Delightful...It’s Delicious...It’s De-lovely!

All aboard for one of the greatest musicals in theatre history, Cole
Porter’s unforgettable*Anything Goes*, winner of three 2011 Tony Awards
including Best Musical Revival. It’s non-stop laughs and madcap fun on the
S.S. American with an unusual array of passengers including a gangster, a
wealthy debutante, a charismatic nightclub singer and a lovesick stowaway.
With spectacular dance and a boatload of Cole Porter tunes like “You’re the
Top,” “I Get a Kick Out of You” and the title song, you’ll get a ‘kick’ out
of* Anything Goes*!

Stuart "Skip" Kelley, the namesake for this youth series, was a strong
proponent of involving youth in every aspect of theater production,
especially guiding them in the mysteries of technical theater areas, such
as sound production and lighting design. Kelley's talents led him to
contribute to Telarc Records, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Cincinnati Pops,
the Atlanta Symphony, Cain Park, the Hanna Theater, Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre and Orange Stagecrafters during his lifetime. When he passed away
in 2005, his former students worked with the leadership at GLTG to create a
youth series in his name. To this day, GLTG tech crews are usually made up
of students under 18 years of age. This year's musical is in keeping with
Kelley's vision to support youth and those newer to the arts.


*The Little Mermaid *
*Audition Information*

Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince
Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to
trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel
needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the
seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.

*Directed by John Krol*

Auditions will be held at the Geauga Lyric Arts Center 106 Water St
Chardon, Oh (Across the street from theater)

*Singing and Movement only. Come with an objective driven song of one
minute or less, and come dressed for movement. (An objective driven song is
one in which the singing actor wants something for themselves or from
someone else.  A great example is Part of Your World, in which Ariel tells
us what she has and contrasts that strongly with what she really wants and
vividly describes those things for the listener.  An objective song focuses
on acting choices, not on singing) An accompanist is provided, so please
bring sheet music. A cappella singing is discouraged. Auditioning teens and
adults will sign up for half-hour blocks of time.*

Rehearsals begin February 19

To schedule a half-hour audition block please call 440 285-7701 onTuesdays,
