Waimea Community Theatre will be holding open auditions for its next production, the beloved musical "The King and I" on Monday and Tuesday, June 2nd and 3rd, beginning at 5:00 pm at the Parker School Theatre in central Waimea. Those auditioning will be asked to read certain scenes from the script, which the director will provide. Persons auditioning for lead roles will be asked to sing a song from the score, after preparation with the vocal director. Since the entire cast sings at some point, auditioners will also be asked to sing a particular song to assess their voice. Dance/movement will also be assessed. Those cast in lead roles should be prepared to commit to rehearsals 3-4 evenings per week increasing to every night closer to the opening date (the play opens August 1). Support & chorus roles will vary in rehearsal time commitments, but will require each night for the last two weeks of rehearsal.
