Boys and Girls Club Greenwich To Hold Auditions for Spring Musical

The Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich’s Theatre Program will hold auditions for its mainstage musical, The Sound of Music on Thursday, Dec. 11 and Friday, Dec. 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich at 4 Horseneck Ln.

The Sound of Music is based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp, the story of the Trapp Family Singers. The show includes “Edelweiss”, “My Favorite Things”, “Climb Ev’ry Mountain”, “Do-Re-Mi”, and the title song “The Sound of Music”.

This marks the club’s fifth mainstage musical for kids. The theater program at Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich is based on the belief that access to the Arts is integral to the development of society. This program offers performance opportunities to more than 150 members annually.

Christina Kampler will direct the musical with Zachary Kampler as musical director, Jennifer Dunn as choreographer (with Don Palmer, BGCG program director; Rocco Natale, artistic director emeritus).

Performances are scheduled for April 24 and 25, 2015.

Young people ages 6-18 are encouraged to audition and should prepare an a capella song and will be required to read from a script. Participants must become a member of the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich before Dec. 11 (annual BGCG membership is $35 for residents and $135 for non-residents whose parents work in Greenwich).
