Youth Theatre productions are open to all students in grades 2-8.
At Auditions on January 20, everyone will be asked to sing a little, read a little and dance a little. Select one of the short song-cuts and a monologue provided by the directors to present. Memorization is not required. Monologues and music are posted online, in SAAC lobby, and will be available at auditions. Everyone will be taught a short dance or movement exercise at auditions. Arrive early to fill out an audition form and have a headshot taken.
For Callbacks, the director will post a list of anyone that needs to attend and, if needed, provide audition material from the show. New faces will be auditioned before Callbacks begin on January 22.

The director is looking for actors willing to take a chance with their character’s choices. The show should seem spontaneous and chaotic, but it must only appear that way. Actors will need to work hard to memorize lines, follow direction and work as a team with their fellow dinner guests.
All adult roles. Open to 17 and older.
