Location: WYO Theater, Inc. 42 North Main Street, Sheridan, WY
WYO PLAY is hosting auditions for the Spring 2024 Youth Musical: James and the Giant Peach Jr!
The story of a young boy and his insect friends as they take a journey of self-discovery across the ocean. Inspired by the book by Roald Dahl.
The Youth Musical is open to students currently in 2nd-9th Grades.
Auditions:
Friday, April 26th, 4:30 – 6:30 pm: 2nd-5th Graders
Saturday, April 27th, at 10:00 am – 12:00 pm: 6th-9th Graders
Some students will be invited to Callback Auditions for a few character roles.
Saturday, April 27th from 4:00 – 6:00 pm
No preparation is required to audition. Students will be called up to the stage in groups and asked individually to introduce themselves and sing Row Row Row Your Boat acapella. Then, we will teach everyone a few bars of vocals from one of the show songs, and each student will sing the song section with the music track.
Those interested in auditioning should Sign Up for Auditions in Advance using this Online Form.
Then, they should come to the WYO Theater–this year in the Tandem Rehearsal Hall (3rd Fl, enter through door on Brundage St) during Open Audition times:
