Alpine Community Theater Announces Auditions for 2024 Summer Show
Alpine Community Theater (ACT) has sent out a call for AUDITIONS for our summer show, Seussical!, which will be performed July 12-22. Auditions will be held Saturday, May 18th at the Liahona Preparatory Academy located at 2464 W 450 S, Pleasant Grove, UT 84062.
Seussical is fun for the whole family! Performers of all ages will be excited to portray the characters from the familiar Dr. Seuss fables. Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime), have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
Audition times for Seussical are as follows: Children (8-12) on Saturday, May 18, from 9:00am to 12:00 p.m.; adults and teens (13 and up) on Saturday, May 18, from 12:30pm to 4:30 p.m. Plan to spend one hour to complete the audition process. Please contact Laura Snyder in advance at 801-404-0736 if a time other than what is outlined above is needed. All ages from 8 to 88 are invited to audition!
The following information will help you prepare for the auditions:
