Summer Musical Performance Class: Babes in Arms

Auditions are in progress!
It's not too late! Wunder Studios Performing Arts Conservatory announces a musical theatre class and performance opportunity for singers, dancers, and actors of all ages. The Rodgers and Hart musical, Babes in Arms, will be presented with a multiracial cast at the historic Pickwick Theatre in Park Ridge on August 2nd. Unlike the movie and stage productions over the years, the original 1930s musical has a strong moral message on race relations and the resolution of a racial conflict. Wunder Studios welcomes inquiries and encourages auditions, especially of African American children.

Auditions are open to children (minimum age is 5) and adults. Auditions will remain open until all roles are cast - call to schedule an audition. The cast meets on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 7pm until the end of the school year. Rehearsals will begin in June after the end of the school year. Individual rehearsal schedules are dependent upon casting. A limited number of scholarships are available.

Wunder Studios Performing Arts Conservatory is located in the Pickwick Building in Uptown Park Ridge. Wunder Studios is easily reached by car, CTA or Metra train. Car pools can be arranged. For more information contact Wunder Studios 847/685-2030.
