Remember: Peter Pan Auditions This Weekend

Just a reminder for young performers out there:

Auditions for the First Stage Theatre Company's production of Peter Pan will be held Saturday, Aug. 16, 2008, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Aug. 17 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Pea Ridge United Methodist Church at 5747 E. Pea Ridge Road in Huntington.

Casting is available for young actors ranging in age from kindergarten to seniors in High School. There are multiple parts with all different varieties of skills.

Those auditioning should have a 30-second song prepared. There will be a pianist, but you may use an accompaniment tape or CD (with no vocals) and must be cued to the proper song. Wear comfortable clothes for dance.

The show will be staged at the Huntington High School Auditorium at 1 Highlander Way on Oct. 31, Nov. 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9, 2008. The classic musical tells the story of the boy from Never-Never Land who refuses to grow up, and his adventures with Wendy, Michael, John and the Lost Boys, as they fight the evil Captain Hook and his band of pirates. The directing team includes director Mary Smirl, musical director Lara Donahoe and producer Elaine Young.

The First Stage Theatre Company is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing an educational, developmental experience for young people through the performing arts.
