AUDITIONS FOR A2CT JUNIOR THEATRE’S STONE SOUP

Ann Arbor Civic Theatre announces auditions for its Junior Theatre production of the children’s classic, Stone Soup, directed by Anthony Heaphy. Auditions take place Saturday, March 10 and Sunday, March 11, from 2-4pm. Callbacks, if needed, are Monday, March 12 from 5-7pm. All auditions take place at A2CT’s Rehearsal Studio at 322 W. Ann St. in Ann Arbor.

In this hilarious update of the classic story by Karen Boettcher-Tate, two fierce dragons have been terrorizing the village for years. When two brave knights vanquish the beasts and become instant celebrities, it does not sit well with the mother of a gentle soul who would rather cook than fight. Secret identities, scheming parents, and, yes, stone soup, simmer in this delightful children’s play.

Stone Soup has roles for up to 22 actors in grades 4-12. Auditions consist of theater games and cold readings from the script. Actors need attend only one of the two regular auditions but should be available for callbacks. No pre-registration is required. Production dates are May 17-20, 2007, at Washtenaw Community College’s College Theater.
