Beck Center for the Arts Youth Theater, one of the oldest continuously running Youth Theaters in the country, will be holding auditions, starting this weekend, on February 12 and 14, 2022 for their final production in their 73rd season. BUGSY MALONE Book by Allen Parker Music and Lyrics by Paul Williams Direction and Choreography by Sarah Clare Musical Direction by Heidi Herczeg Based on the hit 1976 film, and featuring a catchy, swinging score by the composer of The Muppet Movie, Bugsy Malone is good, clean, comedic fun! Two gangs comprised completely of children, square off in a 1920s rivalry of Capone-ian standards. Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer, is thrust not-so-willingly into the gangster limelight when all he really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey, but that just isn't in the cards for our hero. A master class in musical comedy, this show is a fun escape for adults and children alike! Audition/Callback dates: (open to Beck Center students ages 7 to 19*) Masks required · Saturday, February 12: 2:00 to 5:00pm · Monday, February 14: 4:30 to 7:30 pm Callbacks: Tuesday, February 15 between 4:30 and 9:00pm Please sign up for a half hour time slot (starting 1/31 after 4:30pm) at Beck Center’s Customer Service Desk, or via Signup Genius https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0E4DACA823A4FC1-auditions4 *Youth Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our Winter/Spring 2022 semester.
