Auditions for NewArts' 2015 summer shows, "Liberty Smith" and "The Lion King Jr.," will be held April 25 and 26 and May 2 at Newtown High School, 12 Berkshire Road. Callbacks will be held May 3. NewArts is a division of the 12.14 Foundation.
Those auditioning for "Liberty Smith" (grades 6 through college) are asked to prepare a short one minute comic speech from a play, book or movie. Those auditioning for "The Lion King Jr." (grades 1-8) are asked to bring a short one minute reading of anything-- a book, play, nursery rhyme, etc. Younger children may instead tell a story, nursery rhyme, joke, etc. All auditioners must sing a one-minute cut of any song, preferably from musical theater.
There are also volunteer opportunities in the orchestra, on the production crew and assisting throughout the rehearsal process and performances.
