“How to Audition for a Musical” workshop at Village Players June 27

WOLFEBORO — The Village Players invite anyone interested in learning about how to prepare for an audition for a musical to a workshop at the Village Players Theater Wednesday, June 27, at 7 p.m.

“It occurred to the Village Players’ Board,” says Rosemary Lounsbury, director of this fall’s production of "The Music Man," “that we often produce shows that people love and might imagine themselves in, but they might need some pointers so they can feel confident getting up on the stage for an audition.”

Auditions for "The Music Man" are scheduled for July 30 and 31. The show will be performed the weekends of Nov. 3 and 10.

Locally well-known music teacher, conductor and musical theater director Scott Lounsbury will present the workshop where all the “W”s will be reviewed: what to wear, what you can do to warm up your voice in the car, what kind of song to prepare, and a general overview of what to expect at an audition.

The workshop is open to all members of the public. It is free to members of the Village Players, and $10 for all others. (Membership is $18 and in addition to the workshop, it entitles one to a quarterly newsletter, email updates about everything at the Theater, invitations to members-only events and camaraderie with one of the friendliest groups in the region). Pre-registration is not required for the workshop. A parent or other responsible adult is expected to stay with children under 14 for the duration of the workshop.
