FPAC ANNOUNCES OPEN AUDITIONS FOR ORIGINAL HOLIDAY MUSICALS
Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) will hold open auditions for the original FPAC musicals, Snow White and the Seven Elves and ’Tis the Season! The productions will be presented as part of FPAC’s milestone 25th anniversary season.
Auditions for both shows will take place at THE BLACK BOX, 15 West Central Street in downtown Franklin, on Saturday, October 10 at 12:30 p.m. for ages 6-9, 1:15 for ages 10-12, 1:45 for ages 13-17, and 2:30 for ages 18+. Those unable to attend on the 10th are encouraged to audition on Wednesday, October 7 at 7 p.m. Students must be 6 years of age or older on the audition date to participate. Beginners and all levels are welcome. Please prepare 16 measures of a musical theater or pop song and bring sheet music, as an accompanist will be provided. A simple dance combination will be taught at the audition.
FPAC’s family-friendly musical, Snow White and the Seven Elves, debuts at THE BLACK BOX on December 11-13. The production follows in the tradition of a British “panto,” a type of show that retells a well-known fairy tale in an exaggerated style filled with audience participation, popular songs, slapstick comedy, jokes, dances and more.
’Tis the Season! is an original large cast musical first presented by FPAC in 1995. The upbeat, jazzy holiday extravaganza features members of the Kenny Hadley Big Band and contemporary arrangements of favorite holiday classics in musical styles including R&B, jazz, rock, Motown, gospel and Broadway. FPAC presents ’Tis the Season! at the Franklin High School auditorium on December 19 and 20.
Founded in 1991, the nonprofit FPAC supports educational arts experiences, quality entertainment and outstanding performance opportunities for professional artists, community performers and students of the arts. With a focus on youth development and a commitment to live music, FPAC productions draw performers and audiences from more than 100 communities throughout the region.
