Beck Center for the Arts Youth & Teen Theater, one of the oldest continuously running Youth Theaters in the country, will be holding auditions on January 8 & 9, 2017 for the third production of our 68th Anniversary Season: CARRIE the musical Music by Michael Gore, Lyrics by Dean Pitchford Book by Lawrence D. Cohen Based on the novel by Stephen King Direction by Jonathan Kronenberger Musical Direction by Larry Goodpaster Choreography by Katie Zarecki The Story: Carrie White is a misfit. At school, she is an outcast who is bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she's at the mercy of her loving, but cruelly over-protective mother. But Carrie's just discovered she's got a special power, and if pushed too far, she's not afraid to use it ... Audition/Callback dates: (open to Beck Center students ages 12 to 19*) Saturday, January 7: 2:30-5:30pm & Sunday, January 8: 1:00 to 4:00 pm Callbacks: Monday, January 9 between 5:30 - 8:00pm Interested actors may sign up for a one-hour audition slot at Beck Center Customer Service or by calling 216-521-2540 x10. *Please note: Youth/Teen Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our Winter/Spring 2017 semester.
