FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Auditions for Rabbit Run Theater's 2020 Summer
Season

 

Audition appointments are now being taken for the 2020 summer season at
Rabbit Run Theater in Madison, Ohio. 

 

The productions for the summer are "Kiss Me Kate", "Baskerville, A Sherlock
Holmes Mystery", "Titanic, The Musical" and "Always . . . Patsy Cline" as
well as the Young Adult Production, Disney's "Newsies".

 

"Kiss Me Kate", a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter, runs from
May 29 through June 13.  The production is directed by Brint Learned.
Musical direction is by Danielle Jones and choreography is by Hannah Green
Hrutkay.  There are multiple roles available for men and women, ages 15 and
up.

 

Leading lady Lilli Vanessi and her ex-husband, actor/director Fred Graham,
battle onstage and off in a production of Shakespeare's "Taming of the
Shrew".  With romance, comedy, sophistication, and behind-the-scenes high
jinks, "Kiss Me Kate" combines the humor and brilliancy of Cole Porter and
William Shakespeare.  

 

The Young Adult Production, Disney's "Newsies" features young actors, ages
12 to 21.  With music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman, the
production runs from July 10 through July 18.  

 

The show is directed by Brint Learned.  Musical direction is by Ed Leonard
and the choreography is by Hannah Green Hrutkay.

 

"Newsies" follows the tale of charismatic newsboy Jack Kelly as he and his
fellow newsies rally to clash with New York City's titans of publishing to
fight for their rights.  Set at the turn-of-the-20th century and inspired by
a true story, "Newsies" is packed with dance numbers and a family-friendly
message.

 

There are numerous roles available for youth, male and female, ages 12
through 21.

 

Auditions for "Kiss Me Kate" and "Disney's Newsies" are Friday, Mar. 20,
from 6 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, Mar. 21 from 6 to 9 p.m.  

 

Winner of five Tony Awards, "Titanic, The Musical" is an account of the
first and last days of this ship of dreams.  With music and lyrics by Maury
Yeston and story and book by Peter Stone, "Titanic, The Musical" is told
through some of the real life characters involved in the tragedy.

Show dates are July 24 through Aug. 8.  The show is directed by Paige
Heidrich, with musical direction by James Slike and choreography by Hannah
Green Hrutkay.

 

Many roles are available for men and women in "Titanic, The Musical", ages
15 and up.

 

"Always . . . Patsy Cline" runs from Aug. 14 through Sept. 5 and was
originally created and directed by Ted Swindley.  This play with music is a
tribute to the legendary country singer and is based on the true story of
Patsy's friendship with a fan from Houston.  The show features many of
Patsy's greatest hits including "Crazy", "I Fall to Pieces" and "Sweet
Dreams" among others.
