Open auditions for two upcoming Plays-in-the-Park productions are scheduled for Aug. 21 and Oct. 10 at the Stephen J. Capestro Theater, the home of Plays-in-the-Park, Roosevelt Park, Edison.
An open call is planned for 4 p.m. on Aug. 21 for three roles in the original children’s musical, "The Reluctant Dragon." Tryouts are for the roles of Mr. Bisfick, Mrs. Bisfick and Story Lady. For a complete description of each role, log on to www.playsinthepark.com. Participants should come prepared to sing 16 bars of an up-tempo (whimsical, if possible) song.
Auditions for the theater’s 10th anniversary production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" are planned for 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 for alumni of past productions of "Joseph," and 5 p.m. for newcomers. Individuals who are new to the show should come prepared to sing their best 16 bars from an up-tempo song — tunes from "Joseph" are welcome.
