On Friday evening, January 25th, six writers, six directors, and 30 actors will come together to create six original plays.

The six original plays will be performed on Saturday, January 26 at 7:30 pm at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts—24 hours after the start of the festival. Plays and performances are adjudicated and awards will be presented for performances, plays and directors.

Tickets to the Saturday night performance are $15 and can be purchased at the door. Seating is general admission. Tickets can also be purchased in advance at coralvillearts.org or by calling 319.248.9370 or in person at the CCPA box office at 1301 5th Street and at the Coralville Recreation Center at 1506 8th Street.

Auditions Set for K-5th Grade Spring Play!

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

adapted by Tim Kelly

Directed by Tara Acton

Follow that rabbit to a delightful, entertaining world of childhood fantasies.  Alice journeys into a world of talking animals, comic royalty and races where the contestants run in circles!  There are also the Mad Hatter’s frantic tea party, the watch-carrying White Rabbit and talking flowers.  Along the way Alice must deal with a sneezing duchess and a baby that turns into a pig!  The finale has Alice watching a trial, but she suddenly finds herself the accused!  The play gives a modern view to an old classic, where nonsense makes quite good sense.

AUDITIONS: The 12 Days Of Christmas Adapted for the stage by Renee Calarco

We welcome Director Sharon Falduto back for another fun-filled Young Footliters Christmas production!

 

SUMMARY

Christmas is just around the corner, and Shirley the Partridge is a bit nervous because it’s her very first time carrying out the ancient family tradition—gathering the French Hens and the Calling Birds and … oh … everyone—for the official singing of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” With strict instructions from her mom, Grammy and Great Grammy to guard the Five Golden Rings, Shirley sets off on a quest to find the song participants. But there are some bumps in the road. The sweet and sappy Turtledoves get injured while doing their adorable mating dance. The manic and overworked Calling Birds decide to postpone Christmas until spring when shipping and fuel costs are lower. The Six Geese a-Laying have flown south to Florida for the winter, taking most of the Seven Swans a-Swimming with them. And just when things can’t possibly get any worse for Shirley, the evil Christmas Hoarder steals the Five Golden Rings, adding them to his growing holiday collection of Christmas ornaments, Hanukkah menorahs, Kwanzaa fruits, Diwali candles … and entire Thanksgiving dinners. But things begin looking up when Alyssa—a super-cool steampunk swan—befriends the grumpy Shirley and joins her on her quest. Will they be able to save Christmas? Or will they decide to break with tradition and “mix things up a little?” With fresh dialogue and vivid characters, The 12 Days of Christmas is a playful, modern interpretation of the classic Christmas song.

SUMMARY

On Halloween night, when three modern-day kids decide to trick or treat at the old “Crane House,” they are magically transported right into the middle of the classic tale of Ichabod Crane, Brom Bones, Katie Van Tassel, and – of course – the Headless Horseman! Lots of spooky and hilarious moments in this far-out time travel tale, as the three kids cope with life in 1790, goblins, and how to find their way back home.

TIPS FOR AUDITION PREPARATION

1. Musicnotes.com – is one good source to find sheet music. But I would not overlook talking to more experienced actors and asking them what they have used. You may well get sheet music from a sympathetic theatre friend.
2. Make sure you are singing in the same key as the written music you give the pianist.
3. Practice, practice, practice. It really helps to practice with a live piano but if you can’t do that, have someone make a recording for you.
4. Have the music taped together accordian style so that the accompanist does not have to flip the page while you are singing.
5. Find the interesting part of the song. “32 bars” means counting measures of the song.  You do not have to be exact.  Start at a comfortable spot in the song and stop at a natural ending.  You do not need to sing every verse of the song.
6. Pick a song that fits comfortably in your vocal range. Check out the musical you are auditioning for. ( Youtube is a great asset – use it. ) Pick a song that fits that style of the musical.
7. Remember, everyone in the audition room wants you to succeed. Warm up at home, come into the room, introduce yourself and then walk over to the accompanist and give her your music.  Talk to her about what pace you would like to take the song and when you and everyone else in the room is ready, begin!
8. Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in and makes you feel confident. You do not have to come in costume.  Let the directors see who you are.  They can always guide you to a character they want you to play.
9. Do not be afraid to mess up! I can not stress how much the directors want you to be successful.  If you need to start over, do not fret about it!  It happens much more often then you might guess (even with experienced actors).
10. If you have any questions about auditioning feel free to contact Liz Tracey at etracey@coralville.org.

KAZOO CAST LIST

We are very appreciative of the interest we have received so far for Kazoo.  Young Footliter’s is committed to giving opportunities to as many young people as possible but unfortunately even with new scripts we have the difficult task of limiting our cast size.  Thank you for auditioning.  Matt Falduto was very impressed with the level of talent and wants everyone to understand that it is not only talent that gets you a part.  It is also about the idea the director has in his head for the character and who will fit that type.  So if you have not been cast for this show, we encourage you to continue to try out for Young Footliters.

For those of you who have been cast – Congratulations!  Liz Tracey will be contacting you shortly with more detailed rehearsal information.  Please note that our first rehearsal will be July 23 at 6:00 pm at The Coralville United Methodist Church, 806 13^th Ave.  As stated on the web site and at auditions,  if you accept your role then you must be ready to commit to tech week for the show.  That is September 2 – 6 and does include Labor Day.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Liz Tracey at etracey@coralville.org.

AUDITIONS FOR THE WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION OF KAZOO.

SUMMARY

Kazoo,  is the story of Wren, a 13 year old girl. She’s an average girl, living a pretty normal life. She has a mom and loves to play her kazoo. She hangs out with her two best friends, Kaylee and Lily, in a treehouse that is their sanctuary. But then everything goes wrong – her mom dies, she has to move in with her aunt, her friends don’t understand what she’s going through and she loses her beloved kazoo. But with the help of a mysterious and funny stranger, Wren embarks on a journey to find her kazoo.

Kazoo is written in a storyteller style – there are eight actors who tell the story to the audience. All eight also become a character in the story.

Magic is woven throughout the story, from ghosts to talking rabbits to dangerous pythons. It’s a really fast-paced, fun and funny story with a lot of heart.

You can learn more about Kazoo and the playwright’s vision of the show in this video.
