Friend & Neighbors,

As a reminder, we will be holding auditions for our two Summer shows (Matilda: The Musical & Growing Up McKinley) next week on the 17^th (6pm-9pm) and 19^th (10am-2pm).

For Matilda: Ages 8 and Up.  Show dates: July 17-20, 24-27.  Prepare 16 bars from a Broadway or pop song (not from the show) and be ready with sheet music or a backing track.  There will be readings from the script and a short dance call.  Email Melanie.Lucas321@gmail.com for more information or for a virtual audition.

For Growing Up McKinley: Ages 8-13.  Show dates throughout the month of July as scheduled with local libraries and day cares.  Please be prepared to read from the script and answer fun questions about yourself.  If your child has difficulties reading, please reach out to the director via https://www.hartsschoolofperformingarts.com/contact-us.
