Auditions for a new Musical Theater Show
“Broadway Comes to Danbury Volume 2” will be held at The Arts Place
on Friday, January 31st from 5-8pm and Saturday, February 1st from 2-5pm.
This community
theatre opportunity is written and directed by Hannah Riddle, who directed
“Dreams, Schemes and Time Machines” in the fall. Show dates are scheduled for
May 8th and 9th. After auditions and call backs, rehearsals will be held on
Monday evenings at The Arts Place of Stokes located at 502 Main Street,
Danbury.
This will be a show
featuring dialogue and musical parts. Children ages 10 to 18 years and adults
19 years and up are encouraged to audition.
Synopsis: A young, selfish boy named Nate wakes up
to find that he is stranded on a deserted island. He has only one item with him
in addition to the clothes on his back…. his father’s guitar. He quickly
discovers the guitar is enchanted. When playing the guitar (depending on which
song he chooses) a significant person or people from his life is summoned to
the island for a period of one hour. Each person or group of people he summons
spends the hour with him differently but each help him discover a new clue
about the value of selflessness and love that lead to his eventual escape from
the island.
Those wishing to
audition should bring a musical theater selection to sing (we will have an
accompanist available) and they should also be prepared to read a few lines of
dialogue from a script which will be provided.
