The Bell Tower Theater Holds Auditions for the Annual Kid-For-Kids Musical Seussical

The Bell Tower Theater is pleased to announce auditions and crew sign-up for its 17th-annual summer kids-for-kids musical Seussical for Friday, May 17 from 3 PM to 7 PM, and Saturday, May 18 from 9 AM to 12 Noon and 1 PM to 3 PM at the Bell Tower Theater, 2728 Asbury Road in Dubuque. Call-backs (by invitation only) will be Monday, May 20 from 4 PM to 6 PM.

This delightful musical takes audiences into the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss and brings many of his beloved characters to life! Follow Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Lazy Mayzie and a whole bunch of Whos as they discover the power of friendship, loyalty and community. Imaginations soar in this playful tale filled with color, laughter, and plenty of rhymes.

The Bell Tower Theater is seeking children aged 7 to 16 for 80-90 on-stage roles (two casts) and kids aged 7 to 18 for 80-100 backstage roles. All those auditioning for an onstage role will be asked to sing and read from the script at the audition. Auditioners are encouraged to prepare a song and a script selection from the samples available at BellTowerTheater.net. Kids wanting to sign up for backstage roles including set construction, costumes, lights, ticket sales and more should sign up on May 17 or 18 as well. The show is directed by Bell Tower Theater Artistic Associate Michelle Blanchard.
