Auditions Set For ‘The Wizard Of Oz’ At Little Theatre
It’s a call to perform.
And it’s for youth and adults.
The Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown is holding auditions Saturday for its production of The Wizard of Oz.
“This is our first ever Little Theater- Junior Guilders collaboration show. This is not just an adult show. This is not a Junior Guilder show where it’s kids only. This is supposed to be everyone in the community. We want adults to come out and audition for the main roles. We want kids to come out and be our Munchkins and our flying monkeys,” said LBLTJ Board President Holly Weston.
The movie-version of the show, Weston said, will be live on stage. Weston added that she had been receiving questions if there are any age limitations, and her answer is “We want everyone (youth and adults) here doing it together.”
