AUDITION NOTICE: The CAST Program



The CAST Program Presents GODSPELL

AUDITIONS - March 30, 2013 - 3:00-8:00 pm

The CAST Program is a part of the Youth Singers of Calgary’s SUMMER STAGES.
Our goal is to give young performers (ages 16-24*) the tools necessary to take their love of the arts to the next level as they continue to pursue post-secondary, community or professional performance opportunities. In addition to preparing GODSPELL participants will learn and refine dance fundamentals, sing in vocal master classes and take acting lessons that will all contribute toward our final production.


Recently revived on Broadway GODSPELL challenges performers to grow in many aspects of theatre. Along with its enduring melodies and themes we are excited to use it as our training vehicle for the 2013 season.


2013 PROGRAM DATES

June 22 – July 31: Classes/Rehearsals held on Tues/Thurs evening, & Sat late afternoon (Designed so you can keep your summer day job!)

Aug 1-3: Performances with Matinee on Aug 3
