youth theater 2The Auburn Players started the Summer Youth Theatre 13 years ago under the direction of Elisa Carabajal Hunt to give local young performers a chance to participate in a musical theater production and learn the craft. “We are reinvesting in our community by teaching our youth the value and artistry that it takes to create the magic of theater,” says Hunt.  This year, the musical revue will be directed by three former participants in the program, under the mentorship of Virginia Fennessy and musical direction of Sherry Smith Samuel. youth theater 3

The Summer Youth Theater program is open to ages 8 to 18. Everyone interested in joining the cast will be asked to sing and dance during auditions. “We bring them through the entire process, starting with an open audition and ending with the final performance,” says producer, Lindsay Day, “They learn what a stage production is really like.”

To audition, you must prepare a short song and monologue. There is no fee to audition, but cast members are asked to pay a $25 Participation fee.  No one will be turned away for inability to pay.  The fee includes a show T-shirt.  Performance dates are August 19 – 21, 2016, and rehearsals will run throughout July and August.
