Upcoming Auditions

New Star Children’s Theatre is proud to announce registration and auditions for their next production, CURTAIN UP!  This a wonderful SAARTA ELLY nominated original musical written by New Star Children’s Theatre alumni Melane Thompson. Melanie also wrote the script for the recent productions of “The Totally True Story of Cinderella and the Prince” and “That’ll be the Day“. Songs for CURTAIN UP!  were written by Robert B. Hendry III, Dana Hendry and Kayla Guzman. The play is a humorous look behind the scenes of a musical production, a play within a play if you will.  You will laugh and you will cry with the cast as they try and pull together in time for the performance. Will they be able to do it? Some think “This Musical Is A Crime“, but when it boils down to it, the question is do they have enough “Starpower“? Do they “Believe” in themselves enough to make the show a success? You will have to wait until “The Show Is Over” to “Finally” to know for sure.  The program will be open to boys and girls ages 5 – 17 years old.  Rehearsal are on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 5:30pm and 8:30pm at The Bridge Community Church, 511 Sibley Street, Folsom. Cast members will be required to register prior to auditioning. Everyone who registers will receive a part with lines. 

 **We will definitely have roles available for boys as well as girls! We welcome ALL who audition regardless of experience! Cast members are taught acting, singing, dancing, and will present the musical at the end of the session. We emphasize that every child is talented and deserves a chance in the spotlight. All children given roles with lines. We feel that every child is a star, and treat each child with respect, and kindness. Children will gain self-confidence, self-esteem, public speaking ability, working in a supportive team environment, and wonderful friends that will last a lifetime! 

THE SUN WILL COME OUT TOMORROW

“With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone’s hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage that is run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other kids in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan’s evil machinations, and even befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt! She finds a new home and family in billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. Annie is the perfect family-friendly musical and an ideal show for boys and girls of all ages! The “sun” will come out tomorrow!”
