Auditons for Kelsey Theater Dance Squad

Kelsey Theater will be holding auditions for the Kelsey Theatre Dance Squad, headed by Rachel Tovar.

The Kelsey Theater Dance Squad will be performing at the 2013 Kelsey Theatre Awards at 7 p.m. August 10. The Kelsey Theater Awards, which honors community theater professionals for distinguished Kelsey Theatre productions, has been a community theater event since 2009.


Last year, the Dance Squad performed Dance at the Gym and America from "West Side Story," He Had It Coming from "Chicago," And I Am Telling You from "Dreamgirls," Too Darn Hot from "Kiss Me, Kate," and You Can't Stop the Beat from "Hairspray."

Auditions for this year's squad will be from 12 to 2 p.m. June 9 at Mercer County Community College. The audition will dance place in the campus' dance studio in PE225. You must be at least 13 to audition for the Dance Squad. Both male and female dancers should audition.

Please arrive for your audition already stretched and warmed up, as there will be no warm up session during the audition. The auditions will feature intense dancing and moving, so dress appropriately. Auditionees should bring a recent photo of themselves to the audition, as well as a resumé. To sign up for the audition, fill out the audition form at kelseyawards.weebly.com. If auditionees do not sign up in advance, they will not be able to audition. Those with multiple summer conflicts will not be considered.

Rehearsals will begin in June, with about two per week. The days of the rehearsals will depend on the members' availability. There will be a mandatory rehearsal from 11 to 5 p.m. August 10. The show will be at 7 p.m. August 10.
