SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Spartanburg Youth Theatre announces auditions for its fourth and final production of the 2014-2015 season, Fantastic Mr. Fox. The play, which is based on the beloved Roald Dahl book.
Auditions will take place Monday, February 16th, and Tuesday, February 17th, from 5:30-7:30pm, at the Youth Theatre classroom in the Chapman Cultural Center. Interested actors need only attend one evening of auditions. Auditions are open to children in grades 3 through 12, who are asked to prepare a one minute monologue. If your child is interested in auditioning but does not have a chosen monologue, SYT also has a selection available.
If your child is more interested in the behind-the-scenes aspect of theatre, SYT invites children in grades 7 through 12 to sign up for backstage work on the show.
To help students prepare for auditions, the Spartanburg Youth Theatre is offering an optional workshop on Saturday, February 14th, from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. in the Youth Theatre classroom at the Chapman Cultural Center. Students who take this workshop have an opportunity to work with the script and meet the director, and will leave with a rehearsed monologue and audition tips.
