Casting Call: The Frog Prince

Somerset Valley Players will hold auditions for "The Frog Prince" this evening.

Auditions will be held at the theater, located at 689 Amwell Road, Hillsborough, beginning at 7 p.m. May 7. The show is adapted by Max Bush from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, and tells the tale of a beautiful princess and her golden ball, a magical panther in need of assistance, and an engaging enchantress determined to teach a self-absorbed prince a powerful lesson in humility.

Auditioners should dress comfortably, and come prepared to demonstrate special talents such as juggling, tumbling or dancing.

The show will be directed by Emily M. Windus and Kathryn Murray. The show will run from July 19 through Aug. 4, with performances at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. Sundays.
