Beauty and the Beast Au­di­tions Kick off This Week

 -  -  79


MISHAWAKA--The the­atre de­part­ment will be putting on Dis­ney’s “Beauty and the Beast” this spring, di­rected by Don Hunter, as­sis­tant pro­fes­sor of the­atre and chair of the de­part­ment. 

“With a large pro­duc­tion there are count­less hours of prepa­ra­tion,” said Grace Cole, ad­min­is­tra­tive as­sis­tant to the the­atre de­part­ment.

Au­di­tions will be held ear­lier this year than is typ­i­cal for the spring mu­si­cal due to it be­ing a larger pro­duc­tion. Au­di­tions will be held Sept. 16, in FA111, at 7pm.

Ac­cord­ing to Cole, the ear­lier au­di­tion will al­low time for ac­tors to learn their roles and for cos­tumes to be made.

Many hands make these pro­duc­tions pos­si­ble, and the de­sign­ers and pro­duc­tion teams are work­ing to­gether al­ready to en­sure a smooth pro­duc­tion. The per­for­mances will take place the week­ends of March 25 and April 1.
