Tibbits Young Audiences invites students in fourth through eighth grades to audition for their fall play, Myth-Understood, to be held August 11, 12 at 5 pm at Tibbits Opera House.
In Myth-Understood, the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology share their stories with a group of young people working on a school assignment, to set the record straight. In doing so, they re-tell the myths that we’ve all heard, but each with its unique twist. Can the gods and goddesses be trusted? Audiences are invited to come along for the ride, because whether they’re the truth or not, these stories will be entertaining!
Auditions will take place on stage at Tibbits Opera House. Each student is required to attend only once and should come prepared with a current, non-returnable photo, a completed audition form (available at Tibbits.org), and be accompanied by one parent or guardian. During the audition, students will introduce themselves and deliver selected readings from the script.
Myth-Understood will be directed by Jayne Lillis and produced by Tirsha Odisher. The Kiwanis Club of Coldwater generously sponsors this production. Students involved will learn characterization, blocking, costuming, makeup, and all aspects of a stage production.
Tibbits Young Audiences offers programs both for and by local youth to foster their interest in the arts. Two shows each year —a non-musical in the fall and a musical in the spring —provide students with an enjoyable introduction to the world of theatre. Through participation in these productions, they gain valuable insights into teamwork, discipline, theatre skills, self-confidence, and an appreciation for the arts.
For more information about auditions, call 517-278-6029 or visit Tibbits.org. Performances will be held at the historic Tibbits Opera House.
