Franklin Performing Arts Company Announces Auditions for Little Women 1/12

The Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) will hold open auditions for their spring musical, Little Women, to be performed March 11 at 8:00 p.m. and on March 12 at 3:00 p.m. at the Franklin Country Club. Auditions will take place on Wednesday, January 12th at 7:00 p.m. at the Franklin School for the Performing Arts, 38 Main Street.

Based on the 1869 classic novel by Louisa May Alcott, Little Women was originally introduced on Broadway in 2005, with a book by Allan Knee, music by Jason Howland and lyrics by Mindi Dickstein. The show tells the well-loved story of four very different young women, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, growing up in post-Civil War America.

All auditionees should prepare 16 bars of a musical theater song (no pop or rock). Some auditionees will be asked to perform cold readings from the script. Little Women will be directed by Nick Paone, with musical direction by Hallie Wetzell and choreography by Kellie Stamp.

The March 11 performance will include a dessert buffet, and the March 12 performance will begin with an afternoon tea at 2:15 p.m. Tickets are $35 for adults, and $30 for students/seniors. Dinner is available at the Franklin Country Club prior to the Friday evening performance; reservations are required.
