‘Wizard’ auditions
Argenta Community Theater, 405 Main St., North Little Rock, will hold auditions, by appointment, for “The Wizard of Oz” (music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. “Yip” Harburg, based upon the classic movie, derived from the classic by L. Frank Baum, adapted by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Company), 5:30-9 p.m. Saturday and 2-5:30 p.m. Feb. 20. Auditions are open to performers of all genders, races and ethnicities, defined by age: youth, young adult, adult, mature adult. All roles require some singing and dancing.
Auditioners should prepare 16 bars of a song that showcases their vocal range; it can be, but need not be, from the show, but should have the same feel. Provide sheet music for the pianist. Portions of the script will be available for character auditions. There will also be a dance call.
Production dates are April 27-May 7; there will be three daytime student performances. Rehearsals begin in March. Email Casting@ArgentaCommunityTheater.org for an audition appointment; walk-ins will also be welcome. A character breakdown and more information is available at argentacommunitytheater.org/auditions.
Opera cancellation
Opera in the Rock, citing “a change in artistic vision” following the departure of former executive and artistic director Kate Sain and the arrival of president/chief executive officer Fred Owens, has canceled its May 20-22 production of Gaetano Donizetti’s opera “Anna Bolena.”
A fundraiser featuring 2014 Tony Award nominee Mary Bridget Davies (Janis Joplin in Broadway’s “A Night with Janis Joplin”), originally scheduled for Oct. 8 and postponed to Jan. 19, had also been canceled. A planned collaboration with Argenta Community Theater on its just-closed production of Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music” had already fallen through.
Season subscribers or guild memberships that would have been provided “Anna Bolena” tickets can contact Director of Development Mariah Hatta at mhatta@operaintherock.org for a credit to be transferred to the next forthcoming season, or to request a refund. The opera company’s website is operaintherock.org.
