Children’s show auditions slated Aug. 23

Auditions for the New Minowa Players annual children’s show, “How The Camel Got Its Hump”, will be held Friday, Aug. 23, beginning at 6 p.m. at New Minowa Players Theatre, 906 South Mill Street, Decorah.

Directors said the auditions will last approximately one hour. No actor preparation is necessary, but those auditioning are asked to supply a list of possible conflicts between the first rehearsal Aug. 26 through the final performance on Oct. 27.

The children’s show is an opportunity for actors in first through eighth grade to shine. Everyone auditioning will be in the show. Everyone who wants lines to speak will have them. Everyone who wants to sing a solo will be allowed to do so. There is no pressure to do either of those things. Some actors prefer to be in the chorus. Leading roles are given to actors who are willing to have solos. Auditions help the director assign parts appropriately.

Rehearsals will be Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6 to 7:30 p.m., beginning Monday, Aug. 26. The week of performances, rehearsals will be longer, running 5:15 to 7:30 p.m., and will include a Wednesday rehearsal. Performance dates are Oct. 24-27, with evening performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7, and a Sunday matinee at 2.

The show “How The Camel Got Its Hump” is an original musical with script by Rick and Sheryl Scheffert, with music and lyrics by Sheryl Scheffert.  The Schefferts said this show has many great parts for both girls and boys. Questions should be directed to Rick Scheffert, director at 563-379-5739 or by e-mail at: spiritofclaypottery@gmail.com.
