But some days, these heroes must face a far darker challenge: nursery rhymes. These are their stories Audition/Callback dates: (open to Beck Center students ages 6 to 12*) * Saturday, October 13: 2:00 to 5:00pm & Sunday, October 14: 12:30 to 3:30pm * Callbacks: Monday, October 15 from 5:00 to 7:00pm You may sign up for a five minute audition slot at Beck Center Customer Service or by calling 216-521-2540 x10. *Please note: Youth Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our Fall 2018 semester.
