Description:
The Bigfork Playhouse Children’s Theater invites students in grades 2 through 6 to audition, January 2, 2013, for the cast of the musical “A Night At The Way Museum”


The hysterical meets the historical in this comic romp through the wackiest wax museum in history! School’s out for summer, but not for six unlucky students who don’t know much about history — they have to re-take the class in summer school. First year teacher Heather Fairchild has arranged for them to help her two aunts set up a new wax museum as a class project. Though the students’ eyes glaze over with boredom, there’s a twinkle in the wax figures’ eyes when a mysterious incantation from the back of Cleopatra’s bracelet brings them to life! King Henry VIII finds himself smitten with Cleopatra, making his queen, Anne Boleyn, furious. If she can just not lose her head, John Adams is there to serve as her divorce attorney! When Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Blackbeard and a bevy of lady pirates show up, everybody’s out for one thing — treasure! Supposedly, there’s a mighty valuable one hidden in the museum! It’s a wild goose chase to find it, with a greedy museum landlord and her bumbling son joining in the mad search. And why is Lizzie Borden lurking in the shadows, since the aunts say they never had a wax figure of her?! Join the hilarious fun as treasure-hungry outlaws, pirates and royalty mount the greatest siege since Vicksburg! Wax historical in this mad-cap comedy adventure where the magic of history comes alive... literally!

Auditions are Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at the CENTER (833 Grand, Bigfork) right behind The Bigfork Fire Dept
4:30-5:30 for grade 2 & 3

Rehearsals will begin Thursday January 3, 2013

It costs nothing to audition and there is a $40 participation fee if you are cast in the show. Please prepare a 30 second Monologue or short selection from another play, poem or book, (we have several on our website that you can download) and plan to learn and sing something for us at the audition. Don’t worry if you don’t have experience, we’ll have materials at the theatre for you. Wear comfortable shoes that you can move in, as we will be moving around the stage.

Not interested in stage work but would like to be involved? Give us a call! We need help with the technical parts – building sets, props, costumes, lights and sound. Parental and student assistance is welcome and several scholarships are available. To sign-up and for more information, call
