Auditions are 6 p.m., May 3 and 4 in the Fator Studio (red door across the street from the Palace)
The children’s classic, Charlotte’s Web, will soon come to life on stage in musical form at the Warehouse Living Arts Center, but first they need a cast! Being a Warehouse Youth Theatre Company production, they will be looking for youth from 5 to 18 years old. Directed by David Hill, Music Direction by Shelia Herod.
This exciting, musical version of Charlotte’s Web brings a new dimension to E.B. White’s beloved classic. With music and lyrics by Charles Strouse (Annie, ‘Bye, ‘Bye Birdie) and book by Joseph Robinette (national award-winning children’s playwright) your audiences will thrill to a musical score which includes “Eating,” Wilbur the pig’s humorous yet poignant song about growing up; “Who Says We Can’t Be Friends,” an enchanting duet between Wilbur and his new-found companion Charlotte; “Welcome to the Zuckerman Barn,” featuring all the story’s unforgettable animals in a hand-clapping, toe-tapping hoe-down; and “Summer,” a haunting, nostalgic chorus number which evokes a time and place from everyone’s childhood.
Please have your child prepare a musical theatre or Disney style song with accompaniment. The song should be no longer than 1 minute. Your accompaniment music should not include vocal tracks (karaoke style). Please, nothing a cappella (bring music to sing to). A cord to plug into phone or computer & speaker will be available.
- There may be a dance component – dress to move.
- Auditions will also consist of cold readings from the script.
- **Your child does not need to attend both audition dates only one**
