BRATTLEBORO — New England Youth Theater (NEYT) says it is “thrilled to offer a captivating musical theater opportunity” for performers aged 15–19 (14 with guardian consent). According to a news release, NEYT staff say they are “still waiting to secure the rights,” and therefore are not able to release the title of the show at this time.
What they can share is “that Rebecca Waxman will be directing, working alongside a vibrant artistic team dedicated to fostering an experience full of discovery, humor and challenge.
“This production contains mature themes that question ideas of freedom, morality, prejudice, self-delusion and survival. The trailblazing book and score create a world that is intended to push against boundaries and comfort zones of performers and audiences alike.”
Auditions for this show will take place on Jan. 23 and 24, from 3:45 to 6:45 p.m., at NEYT. Rehearsals are expected to begin Jan. 30, with no rehearsals during the week of Feb. 27 (school winter break).
Eight performances are planned Fridays through Sundays on March 17, 18, 19, 24, 25 (rain date: March 26), with a reflection day for all participants on Monday, March 27.
