The Patriot Players of Patrick Henry Community College are getting ready to launch their 30th production. Officials claim it will be one of their largest and most iconic shows to date – Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. To bring this large-scale, well-loved musical to life, the Patriot Players are seeking a wide spectrum of singers, dancers, and actors. Auditions for this spell-bound production will be held in PHCC’s Walker Fine Arts Theatre today, May 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. and on Saturday, May 18 from 1 to 4 p.m.
Actors audition in the order they arrive. Those auditioning should prepare a song in their key and be ready for any movement portion of the audition that the director may require. Performers can sing a cappella or bring an MP3 instrumental track for accompaniment. An accompanist will not be provided. Although the cast list calls for a variety of ages, body types, and ethnicities, actors must be over eight years of age to audition.
The show will be directed by Justin Hall. Rehearsals tentatively begin Tuesday, May 27. The show opens on July 18. For more information, visit www.phccpatriotplayers.com or follow the PHCC Patriot Players on Facebook.
