THE MUSIC MAN - The Franklin Performing Arts Company

FPAC SLATES OPEN AUDITIONS FOR THE MUSIC MAN

The Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) will hold open auditions for the musical theater favorite The Music Man on Saturday, January 24 at THE BLACK BOX, 15 West Central Street, in downtown Franklin. Auditions begin at 11 a.m. for ages 8-10 and continue at 11:45 for ages 11-13, at 12:30 for ages 14-18, and at 1:30 for adults. Students must be 8 years of age or older on the day of the audition to participate. Please prepare 16 measures of a musical theater song in the style of the show. A makeup audition and callbacks will be held on January 26.

FPAC will present the Broadway charmer on March 13-15 and March 21 and 22 at THE BLACK BOX. With small-town spirit, con-man-makes-good plot, and toe-tapping score, the six-time Tony Award winner woos audiences of all ages. Fast-talking salesman Harold Hill attempts to bamboozle the townspeople of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a marching band, but his scheme begins to unravel when he falls for Marian the librarian and must choose between the promise of romance and a quick getaway. With book, music and lyrics by Meredith Willson, The Music Man showcases an all-American score that captivates with gorgeous ballads, rousing marches, nostalgic barbershop quartets, and such cherished standards as “Ya Got Trouble,” “Seventy-six Trombones,” and “Till There Was You.”

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.
