Springville Playhouse announces auditions for its upcoming Youth Theater production of “Into the Woods.” The show is being produced to open August 1, and is scheduled for six shows around the first two weekends in August. Auditions will be in the City Council Chambers, 50 S. Main in Springville. They will be held on Friday, May 30, from 7 to 9 p.m. and Saturday morning from 9 until noon.

Each person auditioning should be prepared to sing a short selection (no longer than one minute) either with their own accompaniment or a cappella. They will also be asked to do cold readings from the script. The show is being directed by Daryl Tucker and Jill Bell.

Additional information can be obtained by calling Tucker at 427-9318.

Shows will be held in the Springville Playhouse theater located in the city building under the library.

This will be a shortened version of the original Broadway musical written by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim, especially adapted for younger performers by Music Theater International.

Springville Playhouse tries to alternate between a children’s show and a youth production each summer and this will be the opportunity for the older group of 12 to 18 year-olds to perform. It will be a chance to showcase the talents of our junior and senior high school aged singers and actors.
