The KCPA Holiday Show 2016 Auditions/Workshop will be held from August 20th-26th.  

Our version of The Snow Queen includes all of the Performing Arts:  dance, acting, singing and even tumbling! Angela Tarleton has adapted the script from the original story by Hans Christian Anderson with as much authenticity as possible. She combines her original script and music (co-composed by Kim Nichols) and the haunting music of Randall Michael Tobin to breathtakingly tell the story of best friends separated by an evil Queen. Join the cast of this wonderful family-friendly production of danger and intrigue, and the bravery and unconditional love of our little heroine, Gerta.

Auditions will be held on Saturday August 20th.  Please email to request an audition time slot.  You may audition for dancing, acting, singing or any combination of the three.  Auditions will include:

• Cold reading from the Snow Queen Script
• Song/Dance 1 minute – please provide accompaniment CD or MP3
• Call Backs (if necessary) will be held on Sunday August 21st at 2:00pm

The Workshop will run August 22nd-26th from 9:00am-1:00pm at the KCPA Studio.  Ongoing rehearsals will be Saturday Mornings.

Workshop Cost: $120.00

Costume Rental Fee: $30.00
