UpStage Artists is excited to announce auditions for their summer children’s show, Snow White and The Seven Dwarves By Tim Kelly with music and lyrics By Bill Francoeur. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves! The story is familiar, all our old friends, plus a few new ones, are here in this classic, marvelous musical adaptation. We’ll meet the captivating Princess Snow White, the prince, the evil queen, and, of course, the seven mischievous dwarfs — Sarge, Gabby, Gloomy Gus, Ticklish, Spritely, Snore, and Slowpoke. There’s also a hilarious palace cat and an enchanted vixen — a fox, you could say! Following the traditional storyline, the fairy tale is brought to life with an eclectic score of toe-tapping tunes.
UpStage Artists is looking for a cast of children ages eight to eighteen as well as two adult females aged 25-40 to play the Evil Queen and The Old Crone.
Auditions are Saturday, June 22 and 23 at 2 pm at Emmanuel United Methodist Church, 11416 Cedar Lane, Beltsville, MD 20705. Walk-ins are permitted but they prefer to have you fill out the form online at www.upstageartists.com/auditions.
