Sunday and Monday, Jan. 6-7—RUTLAND—Rutland Youth Theatre is excited to announce its open auditions for “Tales from Japan,” an original show written by Skyler Ambrose, RYT alumna, and produced by Saskia Hagen Groom.
From an ogre-slaying child, to the man (and a rabbit!) on the moon and a shape-shifting raccoon, this show will whisk the audience away to the Japan of centuries past. These stories of East Asian mythology showcase the meaning of kindness, love, loyalty, and bravery. With a storyteller to guide the way, this show will be an exciting experience for all ages.
Audition times are Jan. 6 from 3-6 p.m. and Jan. 7 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Rutland Youth Theatre, Courcelle Building, 16 North St. Extension, Rutland. Tentative rehearsal schedule will be Thursdays for selected groups and Saturday afternoons for all cast. There will be extra rehearsals on Jan. 14, 15, 21 and 22 for selected groups.
Grades 3-9 only may audition. Choose one audition, but stay for the duration.
Show times are March 8-9 at Rutland Intermediate School Theatre.
Rutland Youth Theatre is part of the Rutland Recreation and Parks Department and is a not-for-profit organization. For more information, visit rutlandrec.com/theatre.
