Great news for young actors looking for a fun show!Based on the educational cartoon series that ran on ABC-TV, Schoolhouse Rock Live is also a musical for the stage, and First Stage Theatre is inviting kids to audition Aug. 13 and 14 for the upcoming performance!
The show kicks off First Stage Theatre Company's 22nd season. The children's theatre plans to stage three shows this season, including two musicals and a non-musical production.
Schoolhouse Rock Live is adapted from the Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever, tuneful songs. The full-length play will feature young actors from Kindergarten through the 12th Grade. No experience is necessary to audition, and there is no charge to audition or participate in the play.
Auditions will be held Saturday, August 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Sunday, August 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Premiere Dance Studio at 716 6th Street, Huntington, W.Va. Young actors may audition on either day.
Actors should come with a 30-second audition song (accompanist, CD and tape player will be available) and be prepared to learn a short dance.
Rehearsals will begin August 16 with a full cast and parents meeting. The show, which will run two weekends at the Renaissance Center in Huntington, will run Sept. 23-25, 29, 30 and October 1-2.
The show will be directed by Amy Browning and choreographed by Melissa McGuffin.

First Stage presented this show almost 10 years ago, and it was a blast from start to finish (which is why they're doing it again, of course) - it's a fun show with great songs, dances and parts for all ages! Highly recommended!
