With the help of an unusual remote control, they find the wackiest assortment of fairy tale themed programming. From a Project Runway style competition to a Frog Prince soap opera, a game show hosted by the Magic Mirror, and a sitcom starring Rumplestiltskin, Channeling Grimm is a fun show for the whole family. Audition/Callback dates: (open to Beck Center students ages 6 to 12*) ALL AUDITIONS ARE IN PERSON • Saturday, September 28: 2:00 to 5:00pm • Sunday, September 29: 12:30 to 3:30 pm • Callbacks: Monday, September 30: between 4:30 and 8:30pm Please sign up for a five minute in-person time slot via Signup Genius https://tinyurl.com/changrim We will send out an email to those who have signed up the Friday before auditions with the online audition form.

19 Sep '24

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: LES MIZ! It is still captivating and is a major piece of the musical theater tapestry which gets an excellent production. If you haven’t seen it before or need a refresher, get to Playhouse Square and get “A Heart Full of Love.”* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
