Performers 4 through 18 years old are invited to audition (performers older than 18 are by Director’s invitation only).
Those doing
auditions should wear dance attire and bring 16 bars of Broadway sheet music to
sing (including songs from the show). An accompanist will be provided.
Performers
who do not want a vocal solo or lead role need only sign-up at 1 p.m. and do
not have to audition.
Rehearsals
start April 5 and will generally be Fridays 6-9 p.m., Saturday 2-6 p.m., and
Sundays 1-5 p.m. in Covina. Not every cast member will be called for every
rehearsal.
“Every performer that auditions is guaranteed
a role; we are a ‘no cuts’ performing arts group, and we try to feature each
performer as a soloist if possible,” said Kristina Keener Ivy, who will be directing
and producing the show Choreographer will be Jamie McMahon.
“Additionally,
there is no cost to participate as long as the students perform in our
Disney-themed fundraiser on May 10 and 11 at Baldwin Park Performing Arts
Center, sell five $15 tickets to the Disney Fundraiser, ten $20 tickets to ‘Beauty
and the Beast,’ and sell $100 worth of program advertisements,” Keener added. “We
do offer family discounts and scholarships.” For more details, see the website.
There will
be four performances of “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” at the Baldwin Park
Performing Arts Center July 18-20, 2014.
