The Twin Lakes Playhouse is seeking performers of all ages for its upcoming production of *The Wizard of Oz*. Auditions will take place on Tuesday, September 5, and Wednesday, September 6, with opportunities for children, teens, and adults to bring the iconic characters and ensembles to life.
Children ages 5 to 15 will audition on Saturday, September 5, beginning at 10 a.m. The process will include group singing, readings, and choreography. No prepared song is required; participants will sing “Happy Birthday” with accompaniment in small groups.
Adults and teens aged 16 and older will begin their auditions the same day at 1 p.m. They are encouraged to prepare a 30-second to one-minute song of their choice, excluding songs from *The Wizard of Oz*. The adult auditions will also include monologues and group readings. Adult sessions will continue Sunday evening, September 6, starting at 6 p.m., with singing, readings, and monologues.
Doors will open one hour before both children’s and adults’ auditions to allow participants to complete necessary paperwork and familiarize themselves with the audition materials. Light refreshments will be provided.
Callbacks are scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. Participants selected for callbacks will be given further details at that time.
Rehearsals for the production will not begin until November, and organizers plan to accommodate schedules around major holidays. All auditions and rehearsals will take place at Twin Lakes Playhouse.
