The nonprofit Noble Fool Theatricals Performing Arts Academy invites ages 8 to 18 to audition for its Youth Ensemble’s spring production of “Cinderella” at Pheasant Run, 4051 E. Main St., St. Charles. Open auditions are offered at two sites at the resort: 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, on the Preservation Hall Studio Stage or 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12, on the Mainstage. No appointment is necessary.
The NFT version of the fairy tale will feature a retelling set in the 1940s.
“The central theme of the show is ‘impossible things happen every day’ and the can-do attitude of the 1940s fit in perfectly,” said director Helen Buck of Lisle. “We’re freshening up the show with Lindy Hop and swing, Rosie the riveter and a touch of classic Hollywood glamour. It will be an educational and fun endeavor.”
Tali Allen of Roselle is musical director for the show, which will be staged for the public between March 21 and April 5 on the Mainstage.
For auditions, youth memorize a one-minute monologue and 16 bars of a song that best displays their talent. They should bring sheet music for the accompanist, along with headshot and resume.
