AUDITIONS FOR ALADDIN, JR. DIRECTED BY EVAN HILSABECK

S U M M A R Y

Disney’s Aladdin brings the famous movie to life, on stage. Aladdin, a kind but wily, street urchin, falls in love with beautiful Princess Jasmine, who he knows is waaaaay out of his league. It just so happens, however, that the Sultan has declared Princess Jasmine must choose a husband within the next day. After she turns down the offers from various wealthy suitors, Aladdin — with the help of a fast-talking, magical Genie — introduces himself as wealthy suitor Prince Ali Ababua. Meanwhile, evil royal advisor Jafar also has his sights set on the kingdom, and tries to convince the Sultan to force Jasmine to wed him. Will love conquer all? Perhaps – if love has a little help from a Genie.

Play Creation Workshop

Are you interested in learning more about the play creation process? Would you like to learn more about the storytelling, scene creation and design processes? If you are in grades 7-12 Young Footliters has an exciting opportunity for you!
Announcing the Play Creation Workshop Series, taught by Matt Falduto

Play Creation Workshop Series
For 7-12 grade

We are offering five workshops and each workshop is self-contained – students may attend as many as they want. All are focused on learning how to create a play from different perspectives – storyteller, actor, playwright, tech. These workshops will eventually lead to Young Footliters fall production – Dreamland, a play written by Matt Falduto and workshopped by Young Footliters actors. Workshops start in November. Registration is currently open for first two workshops.  Registration for other workshops will open soon.

For more information or to sign up please go to www.Coralville.org/recregister

Workshop Descriptions:

1. Storytelling Workshop

Dreamland is written in a storytelling style, with the actors telling the story as well as acting as the different characters. This workshop will teach actors storytelling techniques – developing stage presence, utilizing one’s voice, utilizing one’s body and connecting with the audience.  The students will use the Dreamland script to work on these different skills.  Now open for registration.

November 18, 2017, Coralville Rec Center, 10 am – 1 pm

2.  Scene Workshop

This workshop will teach actors about dramatic action, the rules of scene writing, and how to apply that knowledge toward becoming a better actor. Using scenes from Dreamland, the actors will have the opportunity to shape a new play while learning new techniques and becoming smarter actors.  Now open for registration.

December 9, 2017,  Coralville Rec Center,  10 am – 1 pm

3.  Play Construction Workshop

This workshop is all about writing a play, using Dreamland as the example. Actors will learn the basic architecture of play writing – plot, characters, conflict, rising action, climax, resolution – and through a reading of the play, explore that architecture. While this workshop will be an excellent springboard for the aspiring playwright who wants to write her own play, knowing how a play is put together will also help actors improve their skills. Participation in this workshop comes with the added optional bonus of a critique of your own original play by Matt.  Opening soon for registration.

January 27, 2018, Coralville Public Library, 10 am – 1 pm

4.  Design Workshop 1

In this workshop, students will learn about how the set designer and the costume designer develop their vision for a show. Students will participate in creating the set and costume design for Dreamland and along the way learn a whole lot more about the tech side of theatre.  Opening soon for registration.

May 12, 2018, CCPA, 10 am – 1 pm

5.  Design Workshop 2

In this workshop, students will learn about how the lighting designer and the sound designer develop their vision for a show. Students will participate in creating the lighting and sound design for Dreamland and along the way learn a whole lot more about the tech side of theatre.  Opening soon for registration.

May 19, 2018, Coralville Public Library, 10 am – 1 pm

Matt Falduto – Matt has been creating theatre in the area for over twenty years, wearing every hat – actor, director, playwright, designer, and producer.

Auditions for A Charlie Brown Christmas and What Could Go Wrong the Night Before Christmas

We had such a great turnout for auditions for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and after re-looking at the length of Charlie Brown Christmas and the size of the cast, Young Footliters Youth Theatre has decided to add another performance opportunity to our season!  We are always looking for ways to add performance opportunities for our youth!

What Could Go Wrong the Night Before Christmas is a hilarious one-act play that will be performed every night before A Charlie Brown Christmas.  

Please see below for a summary of each show:

What Could Go Wrong the Night Before Christmas

A host attempts to do a lovely reading of The Night Before Christmas but is stymied by every imaginable interruption.  First, the children show up wearing costumes and outfits for all the wrong holidays, then it ends up the mice might not be stirring, but they sure are shuffling as they play a game of Go Fish.  By the time the clatter on the rooftop sounds more like a deafening rock ’n’ roll drum solo, our poor host is about to have a meltdown!  On top of it all, our not-quite-classic (and definitely thinner) Santa stops filling stockings to do a PSA on the dangers of smoking and also plugs the usefulness of stain remover pens.  In the end, our host finishes the poem, Santa hurries off to make the rest of his deliveries, and your audience is energized with the fun of the Christmas season.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Directed by Krista Neumann

A family-friendly holiday musical based on the beloved animated TV special. Join Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the whole Peanuts gang as they dig past the commercialized gimmicks of presents and decorations to rediscover the true meaning of Christmas.

Notes on Current Audition Opportunities

Young Footliters is pleased to offer TWO great performance opportunities for the youth of our community this fall/winter!

A Charlie Brown Christmas (a musical)

Directed by Krista Neumann

will be performed at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts November 17, 18 and 19 with auditions Sept 12 & 13.  This is for grades 4-12.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (a play)

Directed by Sharon Falduto

will be performed at the Hoover Presidential Library as part of their annual Christmas Celebration December 1 & 2 with auditions August 26 and 27.  This is for grades K-8.

You will note 2 things about these shows:

1.  Even though the performance of Best Christmas Pageant is AFTER Charlie Brown, auditions are actually held BEFORE.

2.  There is a small overlap of ages (grades 4-6) that may audition for either show.

Actors in Grades 4-8:

Actors in grades 4-8 are eligible to audition for either “Pageant” or “Charlie Brown”.  Interested young actors in that age range should look at the performance and rehearsal schedule and decide what is best for them and their families.

Another determining factor might be that “Charlie Brown” is a musical with a relatively older cast, while “Pageant” is a play with a younger one.  Both are great shows with great roles!

If an grade 4-6 actor auditions for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and does not receive a role, they are welcome and encouraged to audition for Charlie Brown.  However, we would expect that those cast in Pageant to respect their commitment to that show.

We are so excited for these two shows!  We hope to see a lot of you at auditions.

Please find the sign-up for each below.

If you have any questions about the audition process or any of these shows please feel free to contact me at tarrifurlong@yahoo.com or Producer Liz Tracey at etracey@coralville.org.

A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS directed by Krista Neumann

SUMMARY

A family-friendly holiday musical based on the beloved animated TV special. Join Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the whole Peanuts gang as they dig past the commercialized gimmicks of presents and decorations to rediscover the true meaning of Christmas. Through a pageant and a spindly tree, Charlie Brown and friends bring the holiday spirit back to life for families once again!

LIST OF CHARACTERS

Charlie Brown –  The everyman; with ever changing moods; both befriended and ostracized by all; a loser-yet-leader who is often depressed but rises out of every downfall with shining hope and determination.

Snoopy – A genuinely happy dog; full of energy, imagination and sass; known for his “happy dance” and his numerous alter-egos.  Snoopy is very popular in the neighborhood.  A physical, more than speaking role.

Lucy – Linus’s older sister; bossy and a know-it-all, but very smart and a natural leader; has a crush on Schroeder; is ready to be older than her age; interests include psychiatry and real estate.

Sally – The youngest of the group, with a very young sounding voice; Charlie Brown’s little sister who has a crush on Linus; is adorable and spunky but often overreacts to situations.

Schroeder – A piano prodigy and Lucy’s love interest; admirer of Bethoven; Charlie Brown’s second best friend after Linus.

Pig Pen – Known for attracting dust, making him very filthy but with a good heart.

Frieda – The girl who brags about her “naturally curly hair”; a total diva.

Violet – Lucy and Patty’s best friend; a mean and snobby girl.

Patty – Not to be confused with Peppermint Patty.  Best friend to Lucy and Violet; sometimes bullies the others.

Shermy – A friend of Charlie Brown’s.  Very dry; bemoans that he has to play a shepherd in the play every year.
