AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT...

            Cinderella! Who can resist the timeless story of a girl who overcomes her circumstances by believing in herself? Cinderella's self esteem, resourcefulness and forgiveness are an example for all young students to relate to and emulate in their own lives. 

            Originally produced for television in 1957 and starring Julie Andrews, Cinderella was revived in 1965 with Leslie Ann Warren, and again in 1997 with Whitney Houston and Brandy. As adapted in this new edition for young performers, the story still resonates with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity!

            Auditions will be held Wednesday, August 26th from 6-8pm and Thursday, August 27th from 6-7:30pm at St. Marys Church Parish Hall (Columbia Turnpike, East Greenbush- across from K-Mart). Due to licensing restrictions, this production will be open ONLY to children in Kindergarten through Ninth Grade (however, our Spring 2010 production WILL be geared to those up to age 18). If you are in 10th-12th grade and would like to participate in Cinderella, please contact CAPS to find out how you can assist with the production behind the scenes!

            Tuition for this program will be $175 per child.  $100 is due at the audition in August; the balance is due at the 1st rehearsal.  Rehearsals will be held evenings and weekends at locations in the East Greenbush area including the Elks Club, St. Mary's and Holy Spirit Church.  Participants are asked to provide their conflict schedule at the audition.  We do our best to accommodate schedules, however, due to the limited production time, we allow no more than 3 absences for this show.  Prior theater experience is not required for participation, however if you have a resume you are encouraged to bring it, along with a non-returnable photo.  Children will be asked to sing a song of their choosing which can be as simple as Twinkle Twinkle or Happy Birthday.  We will provide a piano accompanist as well as a CD player.

            Audition forms can be requested in advance by contacting CAPS via email at : caps at nycap.rr.com. 

            Tuition plans can be made by contacting CAPS prior to auditions.  There are a limited number of partial scholarships available on a first come first served basis, as well as some possible opportunities to offset tuition with advertising sales for the productions program.  You MUST contact CAPS prior to auditions to make arrangements.
