Auditions are December 16th and 19th in Middletown for actors and movers ages 12 - 14 looking for an exciting and dynamic performance experience this winter.
Oddfellows Playhouse Junior Repertory Company 2025, announces auditions for “Coraline”, adapted from the novella by Neil Gaiman; directed by Dan Schmidt.
Based on Neil Gaiman’s 2002 dark fantasy, “Coraline” follows the titular character as she and her parents move into a new home, surrounded by eccentric new neighbors and a nameless black cat. Exploring the house, Coraline discovers a strange door that leads to an enticing (yet sinister) parallel world controlled by the Beldam (a button-eyed version of her own mother.) Coraline must navigate this “Other World” and save herself, her parents & the souls of other children trapped there before her “Other Mother” sews buttons into her eyes, too! “Coraline” is a coming-of-age story that examines bravery, the drawbacks of always getting what you want, and the importance of found family.
