Local youth will have the opportunity to work alongside professional actors when the Roxy Regional Theatre holds children’s auditions for Munchkins and other ensemble characters in THE WIZARD OF OZ on Saturday, July 8, at noon.
Children ages 8 and up should come prepared with “Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead” and be dressed to move in comfortable clothing and shoes, as the audition will also include a dance portion. All auditionees will sing through the song with the recorded track prior to individual auditions. To avoid distractions, parents will be asked to wait in the lobby during the auditions.
Performances run September 8 through September 30. Although THE WIZARD OF OZ will play weekday matinees for school groups, those children who are cast will only need to be present for the evening performances. Children’s rehearsals will begin Thursday, July 20, from 1:00pm to 2:30pm.
A tentative rehearsal and performance schedule, along with sheet music and reference track for “Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead,” can be found online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org/auditions.
