The Playmakers Hold Youth Theatre Auditions for 'SEUSSICAL, JR' 6/6

Auditions are set for June 6, 1:00 pm at The Playmakers, 121 W. 3rd in Grove for the fantastical, magical, musical "Suessical, Jr", the head-liner play in The Playmakers "Off Broadway Troupers" summer youth theatre. Daytime rehearsals will begin the next week.

The production opens July 24 and runs for eight performances through August 2. Suzanne Boles directs. There are major roles for most of the Dr.Seuss characters: Horton, Gertrude, JoJo/Boy, Mr. Mayor, Mrs. Mayor, The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch, Yertle the Turtle, the Wickershams, Sour/Young Kangaroo, and Vlad Vladikoff. Those auditioning for these major characters must be able to sing well and have coordinated movement skills, if not dance.

There are places for chorus parts such as the bird girls, circus animals, citizens of Whoville and the jungle of Nool. Students must be at least 6 years of age for chorus parts; older for solo parts. A CD with excerpts of the music is available for a 2-day checkout.

The other play on this double bill, "Noodle Doodle Box," is a very funny, allegorical play about friendship and cooperation. Sandy McCabe directs this play which will showcase three young comic acting students in the After-School Theatre program, if possible.
