Auditions for “Newsies,” the Court House Players’ spring musical, will be held from 1-5 p.m. Saturday in the gym at Newington Baptist Church, 6169 Main Street, Gloucester.
Auditions are open to any gender, with ages ranging from kindergarten through adult. There are limited roles for elementary and school-age children.
Everyone auditioning will be required to sing 60-90 seconds of a song for which they provide their own karaoke or instrumental accompaniment. The music may be played on a phone. No accompanist will be available. For ages under 8, the music for “Happy Birthday” or the ABC song will be provided, if preferred.
Everyone will be required to do a cold read from the script, with accommodations made for pre-readers.
Those who wish to be considered for a role as an actual Newsie or as a dancer must also learn and perform a short dance that will be taught at the audition.
Rehearsals will be held Sunday afternoons and Monday and Thursday evenings at Newington Baptist Church.
