Youth auditions announced for upcoming productions
at the Huron Country Playhouse
The Huron Country Playhouse is pleased to announce children’s chorus auditions for its upcoming summer productions. Young performers will have the opportunity to audition for Anne of Green Gables and Snow White: The Panto. Auditions will take place on Sunday, April 19th at the Huron Country Playhouse. Advance registration is required.
Aspiring young performers, ages 9 to 15, are encouraged to attend the auditions. Dance, theatre, and singing experience are an asset and preferred. Those who plan to attend the auditions should sign up in advance and be prepared to learn the popular song "Come On Get Happy" as well as learn a short dance combination, led by our creative team.
To accommodate the demands of these grand-scale productions, and to provide opportunities for as many youth as possible, the chosen performers will be divided into teams and will perform in the children’s chorus on rotating schedules with professional actors in the lead roles.
Rehearsals for Anne of Green Gables are scheduled to begin late May and run through the beginning of June. Performances run from June 11th through June 27th.
Rehearsals for Snow White: The Panto are scheduled to begin the middle of July and run until late July. Performances run from July 29th through August 29th.
