Does cabin fever have you in its clutches? Would you rather be someone else or be somewhere else? Do you feel like breaking into song? We have the answer to your thespian dreams.
The Campanile Center for the Arts is holding auditions for its upcoming production of Stephen Sondheim's award-winning musical Into the Woods. Auditions will be held Monday, Feb. 11 and Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 7 p.m. at the Campanile Center for the Arts, 141 Milwaukee St. (corner of Milwaukee and Flambeau streets) in downtown Minocqua.
Callbacks will be held the following Monday, Feb. 18, at 6:30 p.m. Those interested should prepare a song from a musical no longer than two minutes and bring sheet music. An accompanist will be provided.
The production is seeking 13 women and 9 men of all types, ages 15 and older, but particularly ages 30 to 65. All roles require the ability to hold parts, a good ear for harmony and light dancing. The ability to sight-read is a big plus. The music is challenging to sing but lots and lots of fun.
You can call the Campanile Center for the Arts for a breakdown of the roles and singing ranges involved.
Into the Woods is one of Sondheim's most popular works, a rare modern classic that combines the well-known fairy tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood with an original story of a baker and his wife who desperately want a child.
Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
Performances will be April 4, 5, and 6 at the Campanile Center for the arts. For more information, call 356-9700.
