Drayton Entertainment is pleased to announce that local youths will have the opportunity to perform as orphans in the upcoming production of Oliver! at the Drayton Festival Theatre.
Auditions will take place on July 14 at the Drayton Festival Theatre. Pre-Registration is required. Sign-in begins at 12:30pm and auditions will run 1 to 4pm.
Aspiring young male and female performers, ages nine to 15, should be prepared to sing the popular song, “Consider Yourself” from the musical Oliver! Performance experience is an asset, but not required. A passion for theatre and an outgoing personality are the only prerequisites.
To accommodate the rigorous schedule of this grand-scale production, the youth performers will be divided into groups – each group will take the stage for select performances.
Rehearsals for the Drayton Festival Theatre production of Oliver! begin Aug. 3 and run until the first preview performance on Aug. 14. Tracey Flye is the director and choreographer, Michael Barber is the music director.
Based on Dickens’ second novel, Oliver Twist, Oliver! runs from Aug. 14 to 31. Tickets may by purchased at www.draytonfestivaltheatre.com in person at the box office, or by calling 519-638-5555 or toll free 1-855-372-9866).
