Auditions for Peter Pan Jr.
Based on J.M. Barrie's classic tale and featuring an unforgettable score by Morris "Moose" Charlap and Jule Styne the Tony-Award winning musical Peter Pan is one of the most beloved and frequently performed family favorites of all time. The Junior version is a little shorter and perfect for middle school performers! Our performance dates at Weathersfield School are April 4 and 5.
Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, the fierce Brave Girls, a band of bungling pirates and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook.
Auditions will be held for 5th - 8th graders in the music room on January 8 & 9 after school until 4:30 pm.
Prepare a short selection (16 bars) of a Broadway or Disney song to show off your voice. You will be asked to read from the script and participate in a group dance audition. If you need help picking a song to sing, see Ms. Towne, or Mrs. Yuengling for suggestions.
Directors respond positively when you do the following:
BE PREPARED: memorize the lyrics and melody of your song.
SMILE AND ENJOY THE AUDITION PROCESS: the director and the audition team want you to do well.
SHOW GOOD BEHAVIOR: directors are often more concerned with how you behave than how well you sing, act, or dance. Be kind, courteous, and listen to directions.
TRUST THE DIRECTOR’S CHOICES: do your best at whatever you are asked to do, even if you are reading for a role that you find challenging or awkward. Casting the play depends on many factors such as reliability, prior experience, behavior, and talent.
