Audtions for musical
BUDDING stage stars are being encouraged to go along to open auditions ahead of a forthcoming production of a classic musical.
Youngsters between the ages of seven and 15 have the chance to star in Hartlepool Stage Society's performance of The King and I next spring.
Open auditions for the roles of The King's children will be held on Saturday, September 18, between 10am and 1pm at Walmsley Hall, in Osborne Road, Hartlepool.
Society member Sarah Barton, 26, said: "We are looking for children that are really enthusiastic and that love to sing and dance and children that are willing to put in the hard work.
"Our shows are always really enjoyable to put on and we are condfient that will be the same this year too."
In April this year, society members put on a production of Annie Get Your Gun at the Town Hall Theatre and they are hoping to build on the success of that.
Sarah, who lives in Seaton Carew and teaches at Golden Flatts Primary School, added: "The society has around 60 members ranging in age from nine to 80 plus and everybody really enjoyed this year's performance.
"We are hoping to build on that and The King and I is a classic musical which will hopefully be enjoyed by both younger and older people."
The King and I will be performed at the Town Hall Theatre, in Raby Road, from Tuesday, May 3, to Saturday, May 7. Tickets will be on sale in the New Year.
The society has had to pay a licence payment fee to Josef Weinberger Ltd in order to perform the popular musical.
Children are asked to bring a recent photograph and be prepared to sing and dance.
Any adults interested in getting involved should go along to rehearsals on Tuesday, September 7, and Tuesday, September 14, at the Osborne Road base from 7.30pm.
For more information about the open auditions call Sarah Barton on 07882576863.
