First Stage has announced the audition dates for the first show in its upcoming season - Disney’s Aladdin, Jr. (Full disclosure time: I'm one of the directors of the show.)
Here are the details:
First Stage Theatre Company will hold auditions for the community theatre production of the musical Disney’s Aladdin, Jr. on Saturday, Aug. 9, and Sunday, Aug, 10, 2014. The show is based on the beloved animated film.
The auditions will be held at the Premiere Dance Studio at 716 6th Street in Huntington, W.Va. Auditions on Aug. 9 will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and on Aug. 10 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Auditions are open to students from High School Seniors to those entering the First Grade this fall.
Participants can arrive and sign up at any time while auditions are open. There is no charge to audition or to take part in a First Stage production, and no theatre experience is required.
Auditioners should arrive ready to sing a 30-second section of the song of their choice - an accompanist will be provided. They will also be given a few lines from a script to read, and they’ll be taught a short dance step to demonstrate during the audition (be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes).
The show will be presented Sept. 26, 27 and 28, 2014, at the Renaissance Theatre (the old Huntington High School) at 900 8th Street.
The directing team includes: Directors Chuck Minsker and Amy Browning, Music Director Mark Smith, Choreographer Melissa Marcum, Assistant Director Zach Davis, and Producers Leslie Comer-Porter and Becky Craig.
Based in Huntington, W.Va., the First Stage Theatre Company is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing an educational, developmental experience for young people through the performing arts. Disney’s Aladdin, Jr. kicks off the company’s 25th season.
