For Immediate Release: *Orange Community Education and Recreation* STAGECRAFTERS THEATRE *STAGECRAFTERS TEEN ACADEMY ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR* *GODSPELL* * (for students in 8th - 12th Grade)* Stagecrafters announces auditions for GODSPELL on *Monday, November 4, 2019 from 5:30pm-8:30pm* at the Pepper Pike Learning Center, 32000 Chagrin Blvd, Pepper Pike. The 2012 Revival Edition is a masterful retelling of the original sensation injected with contemporary references and dazzling new arrangements. *Godspell* was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (*Wicked*, *Pippin*, *Children of Eden*); and it took the world by storm. Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," *Godspell* features a parade of beloved songs, including "All for the Best," "All Good Gifts," “Light of the World,” “We Beseech Thee” and “Beautiful City.” We are seeking a diverse group of students, *grades 8-12*, to bring these parables, songs and characters to life. The characters in this story are energetic and charming. Gentle, but strong. Playful. Thoughtful. Revolutionary. They sing, they dance, they play instruments. They are an ensemble. *Rehearsals: *5:30pm-8:30pm, 2-3 x per week November-January (with breaks for Thanksgiving and Winter Vacation) *Tech Week: *January 26th-January 31st, 5:30pm-8:30pm *Performances: *Friday, January 31st and Saturday, February 1st, 7:00pm, Orange High School Auditorium *Auditions: *Monday, November 4th, 2019. 5:30pm-8:30pm 5:30pm-7:00pm Vocal Auditions (no appointment necessary) 7:00pm-8:30pm Dance Call *Sign up here to reserve your spot: * https://orangerec.ce.eleyo.com/course/1264/fall-2019/teen-academy-godspell#1...
