Auditions This Week in Portsmouth

January is a time for auditions, and here's one this week for teen actors:
Sweeney Todd: School Edition auditions will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 3 and 4 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The Portsmouth Area Arts Council & Children's Theatre Senior Co. will hold auditions for actors ages 14-18, who are still in high school, for the upcoming production of Sweeney Todd: School Edition.

Auditions will be held in Theatre 5 of the Wheelersburg Cinema, adjacent to the SONGS Stage.

Actors will be required to sing a solo of their choice and be asked to read from the script with other auditions. Actors do not need to come for both nights of auditions, but may if they like.

A small photo of the actor to attach to the audition form is recommended.

The production dates for the show are March 2, 3 and 4, 2012 on the main stage of the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts in Portsmouth.

Rehearsals will be held at the Wheelersburg Cinema stage Monday-Friday 6:30-9:00 p.m. beginning Jan. 9.

Actors will be required to have signed parental consent to participate in the show before they accept a part.
Auditions will also be held for a special Pre-Show for younger actors:
The Portsmouth Area Arts Council & Children's Theatre will be producing a short pre-show for our production of Sweeney Todd: School Edition at the Vern Riffe Center.

Auditions will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 3 and 4 at 5:30 p.m.

Rehearsals will be 5-6 Tuesdays and Thursdays starting Jan. 12 at the Wheelersburg Cinema.

Production dates are March 2, 3 & 4 at the Vern Riffe Center in Portsmouth.

We are looking for singers and dancers to do a spooky pre-show in both the lobby and main stage before Sweeney Todd. Younger ones will be singing and doing simple choreography for the lobby and older ones will be auditioning for a more dance-centered routine to be performed on the main stage.

Parents, please be aware, this pre-show will be spooky and involve scary make-up and costumes.

Come to auditions prepared to move and learn small pieces of choreography.
