Auditions for "The Story of Hansel & Gretel"


Auditions for the Center Stage Jackson Youth Theater musical production of "The Story of Hansel & Gretel" will be held on Tuesday, September 15 and Thursday, September 17 at 4:30 at The Middle School at Parkside Auditorium in Jackson.

Auditions are open to all third through ninth graders.

Production dates are November 20, 21 and 22 at Parkside.

Rehearsals will be held every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30 until 6:00 at Parkside up until production week when rehearsals will be every day. Not all cast members will be scheduled to rehearse at every rehearsal and reasonable accomodation will be attempted for those with identified (and we hope minimal) rehearsal conflicts.

You need attend only one of the two auditions.

There are 18 speaking parts available (four boys, eight girls and six roles that can be cast as either gender) as well as a chorus and, most likely, a dance group.

Those auditioning will be asked to read from the script, sing a simple song and learn a simple dance routine. No advance preparation is necessary for the audition. We anticipate a large turnout for auditions so please have patience as we allow everyone to get their turn.

There is no charge to performers but actors who do not have a stage makeup kit will be asked to purchase one (typically about $18).

Jen Ann Guy will be serving as artistic director. Ellen Cole will be musical director. Choreography will be by Stephanie Pierce. Doug Meyers is the producer.
