auditions for ‘South Pacific’ and ‘Hello Dolly’

The Summer Theater Project, specifically for high school teens and young adults, is holding auditions for Rogers and Hammerstein’s classic World War II musical “South Pacific.”

No previous theater experience is required and there is a spot for all who audition. There is no cost to be in the show, but participants must make a solid commitment to a busy rehearsal schedule.  

Auditions are on Monday, May 12, from 4-6 p.m. at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Sun Valley and on Wednesday, May 14, from 3:30-6 p.m. at the Community Campus in Hailey.

Rehearsals begin immediately on May 18 and the show runs from June 18-21 at the Community School Theater.  The Summer Theater Project is a performing arts program sponsored by St. Thomas Playhouse.

The entire community is also invited to audition for the humorous, fast-paced musical “Hello Dolly!” which is the 2014 selection for the inter-generational Family Main Stage performing arts program from St. Thomas Playhouse.

No theatrical experience is required and anyone 5 years and older is eligible. The auditions take place on Saturday, May 17, from noon-2 p.m. at St. Thomas Church in Sun Valley and then immediately move south to the Wood River High School Choral Room from 3-6 p.m.

Auditioners will be required to sing anywhere from a few lines to a complete song from the show and read lines from a few scenes.

“Hello Dolly” will run from Oct. 16-19 at the nexStage Theater in Ketchum and rehearsals will begin in early September.
