'Music Man' Auditions Being Held at Methacton Community Theater

The trouble in River City is coming to Lower Providence!

No, it's not a new pool hall, but Methacton Community Theater's (MCT) new production of The Music Man to take the stage at the Shannondell Performing Arts Theater in July. Before the show can start, however, MCT is holding auditions this month.

Auditions will be held Saturday, April 20 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 21 at 2 p.m. at Jeffersonville Presbyterian Church, 1921 West Main Street in Jeffersonville.

Aspiring actors must be 8 years old or older. Auditioning actors should bring sheet music and be prepared to sing a song that showing off your singing ability. The producers recommend you dress comfortably for a short dance audition. There will also be a cold read from the script.

And before Professor Harold Hill blows into town, check out MTC's production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, "a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime." Show dates are May 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12. More information here.
