The Needham Community Theatre is holding auditions for its spring production next week.

Auditions for the show entitled Forbidden Broadway Comes to Needham: The Farce Awakens will begin on Jan. 17 and 19 at the Presbyterian Church on 1458 Great Plain Avenue. Call-backs for the show will happen on Jan. 20. The Forbidden Broadway show will run on April 1 and 2 at 8 p.m. and April 3 at 2 p.m.

Forbidden Broadway is the brainchild of award-winning playwright Gerard Alessandrini. Alessandrini wrote this version of the show in celebration of the Needham Community Theatre’s 60th anniversary.

Two to three men and two to three women will make up Forbidden Broadway’s main cast. Hopefuls are asked to have the ability to imitate and make fun of Broadway shows and stars. Hopefuls are also asked to prepare 16 bars of a song from a Broadway show demonstrating vocal range.

The Needham Theater also requests a funny story or imitation and for hopefuls to be dressed to move.
