Auditions for "Into the Woods"

Summer's not over yet, but it's already time to start looking toward the fall.

With that in mind, First Stage Theatre Company is getting a head start on the fall by holding auditions this weekend for the fall show in the company's 20th season.

That show is the modern classic Into the Woods, a musical that gives a modern and often surprising take on several classic fairy tales.

Auditions will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, and from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16, at Pea Ridge United Methodist Church, 5747 Pea Ridge Road.

Casting is open to 6th through 12th grade students. Anyone who wants to try out should have a 30-second song segment prepared.

Performances will take place Friday, Nov. 13, through Sunday, Nov. 15, and Friday, Nov. 20, through Sunday, Nov. 20, at the Jean C. Stephenson Auditorium in Huntington's City Hall.

More information is available by calling Mary Smirl at 304-525-2557, Elaine Young at 304-525-6132 or visiting www.firststagetheatre.org.

Into the Woods is a Tony award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine.
