The complete production package gives theatres the tools they need for a high-quality production at a fraction of the usual cost. Applications are open now through October 15, 2025. <https://www.licensingmusicals.com/school-touring> TND(a)LicenSINGMusicals.com Email deadline is Oct. 15 at 11:59 pm *Did you know?* *HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY DISCOUNT ALL YEAR for **Frankly Ben Franklin* for ALL THEATRES: Just $500 for one RUN of the show (If the run is multiple weekends, no more than 6 days between performances.

Shelves Available Free in Brunswick
by awhite allenmwhite.com 04 Sep '25

04 Sep '25

Hi, We are moving our business to new space in Brunswick, specifically the Rolling Hills Plaza, just north of St. Ambrose on Pearl Road. The sign over the current space is 'The Bookshelf', and they'd acquired shelving from Blockbuster when the Brunswick store closed. We don't need these, and when construction begins next week they'll be disassembled and removed. I'm asking if any theatre groups would like them, to please respond to me via email, and we'll arrange to meet for you to pick them up. They're white, and about 7 feet tall, 6 or 8 inches deep at the top and about a foot deep at the base. They are also about 24 feet wide, and there are two of them. If you are seriously interested, please contact me here and we can arrange to meet you at the store. Thanks. Allen White

AUDITIONS – Bringing Down the House at Beck Center Youth Theater
by Sarah Clare 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

Beck Center for the Arts Youth Theater, one of the oldest continuously running Youth Theaters in the country, will be holding auditions on September 13 & 14, 2025 for the first production of our 77th Season: BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE Written by Todd Wallinger and Directed by Russel Stich Jules, Sydney, and Elliot have some big dreams. An up-and-coming musical team, they’ve rented a creaky old theater for six weeks to mount a production of their new show. Top Broadway investors are slated to attend, so the team is going to need every minute to rehearse the musical. To their dismay, they discover that the theater is scheduled for demolition the very next day, and they don’t have the money to rent another venue! There’s only one thing to do: throw the show together in just two hours and present it to any investors who can make it on such short notice. From child actors and stage moms to confused protestors, and a bumbling demolition crew, this show takes the saying “the show must go on” to a whole new level! Directed by Beck Center’s own Russel Stich, this show is sure to bring down the house with laughter! Audition/Callback dates: (open to Beck Center students ages 6 to 19*) • Saturday, September 13: 2:00 to 5:00pm • Sunday, September 14: 12:30 to 3:30 pm Callbacks: • Monday, Sept. 15 between 4:30 and 8:30pm Please sign up for a half hour time slot (starting 9/3 after 4:30pm) via Signup Genius https://tinyurl.com/audbdh *Please note: Youth Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our Fall 2025 semester. Actors do not need to be enrolled at the time of the auditions, however, participation in the actual production does require Beck Center enrollment in our Fall 2025 semester. Students do not need to be specifically enrolled in a Theater class at Beck Center to qualify. Students enrolled in the Theater, Dance, Music, Visual Arts, and/or Creative Arts Therapies Departments are equally eligible. Class sizes and offerings are limited at this time, so please register in advance if possible. Bottom line: if you are accepting a role in the show, you will need to enroll prior to the start of rehearsals. Any questions, please feel free to contact Sarah Clare, Associate Director of Theater Education, at sclare(a)beckcenter.org. Our Fall 2025 registration is now open at https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/beckcenter/home?onlineSiteId=0&locale… There is NO additional participation fee required beyond enrollment. What to Prepare: • Students are asked to prepare a short one-minute comedic monologue or poem to present as their audition piece.
