Auditions for two shows coming soon!

Auditions for the shows Little Shop of Horrors and Crickets on a Hill will be held on back-to-back Sundays in January.

Those interested in performing in a musical are encouraged to audition for both shows, since rehearsal and production dates will not conflict with each other.

Little Shop Of Horrors auditions will be held on Sunday, January 11, at 2 p.m. at Newington Baptist Church, 6169 Main Street, Gloucester.

Performances will be April 17-19 at Mathews High School.

Auditions for Crickets On A Hill, a  musical that takes place in the colonial era and is part of the VA250 celebration, will be held on Sunday, January 18 at 3 p.m. at Cobbs Creek Arts Center, 61 Cobbs Creek Lane in Mathews.

This is an expanded version of the musical by the late Judy Ward of Gwynn's Island, with additional characters and more opportunities for women and children to participate. There will be limited opportunities for children ages 6-11, while children 12 and older will have active roles. Men of all ages are needed, including men of color.

Performances will be July 2, July 5, and July 17-19 in Mathews.

The online audition registration form for Crickets on a Hill is available here.
