Our Sunday auditions will begin at 5pm for any children that wish to try-out for the show. We have a limited number of roles available for children under the age of eight. However, we encourage all enthusiastic performers to audition!

Harold Hill, a smooth-talking salesman with a knack for deception, arrives in River City, Iowa, with a scheme to exploit the town's naivete. He convinces them to invest in instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he promises to lead, despite his complete lack of musical knowledge. His plan to pocket the money and disappear is thrown off course when he unexpectedly falls for Marian, the librarian.

Please bring sheet music for the accompanist and prepare at least a 16-bar audition song. Auditions may also include a movement exercise and reading from the script.

The Hudson Players are an all volunteer award winning, community theatre. All roles in our productions are always open to auditioners, with no restrictions. Those auditioning will be asked to read from the script. Auditions usually last at least two hours and while it is best to be there at the beginning, those with schedule restrictions can come later. Those interested in working backstage, on sets, lights, etc., are encouraged to come to auditions as well and fill out a form letting the producer know their areas of interest.

If you have questions please feel free to email us at info at hudsonplayers.com or visit our website at www.hudsonplayers.com.
We look forward to seeing you at auditions!
Scripts will be available at the Hudson Library at least two weeks prior to auditions.
The Hudson Players are located at Barlow Community Center, 41 S. Oviatt Street, Hudson Ohio 44236
