Auditions Next Week for "Superman!"


   Coming up next week, First Stage Theatre Company kicks off its new season with auditions for the musical starring the world's most famous superhero - It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman!

   The musical ran on Broadway in 1966, and will feature professional flying effects. The plot revolves around Superman's efforts to defeat Dr. Abner Sedgwick, a scientist who seeks to avenge the scientific world's dismissal of his brilliance by attempting to destroy the world's symbol of good. Superman also comes into romantic conflict with Max Mencken, a columnist for the Daily Planet newspaper, who resents Lois Lane's attraction to Superman.

   Auditions are open to middle school and high school students: Grade 6-12. They'll be held Saturday, Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Enslow Park Presbyterian Church at 1338 Enslow Blvd. in Huntington.

   Those auditioning should be prepared to sing up to one minute of a song (a cd player and piano accompanist will be provided or you may sing a cappella).

   Be prepared to read from a page of script (it will be provided) and wear comfortable clothing you can dance in.

   There will also be a Pre-show - auditions for it are open to children in elementary school: Grade K-5. Just come in and sign up, no audition is necessary!

   The musical will be presented Oct. 11, 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20. For more information, email sandm7@frontier.com.
