Elmhurst Children's Theatre Auditions for 'Anything Goes'

We are excited to announce auditions for our Fall Show, Anything Goes! First produced in 1934, Anything Goes features music and lyrics by the legendary Cole Porter. It was reprised on Broadway just last year and won 3 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical. We are very excited to bring this production to Elmhurst - its sure to be a lot of fun with a large cast and opportunities for many to be involved! 

Auditions will be on Wednesday, August 15th starting at 6:00 p.m. They will be held at Field School, 295 Emroy Ave., Elmhurst. Callbacks are Thursday, August 16th, 6-9:30. Please call (630-279-5931) or email (mchittaro@sbcglobal.net) to book an audition slot. The show will be October 19, 20 and 21. Children in 5th-8th Grade who live in Elmhurst or attend a school in Elmhurst are eligible to audition. Check our Audition Poster for further details.

For your audition, prepare up to 32 bars of a song in the style of the show (a cappella). Also prepare a short memorized monologue of your choosing or from a selection of 
Audition Sides selected by our Director, Jason Sperling, from the script of Anything Goes. Review the Character Descriptions here. Pick pieces that show you off well, whether or not they are from Anything Goes.

Review our Attendance Policy and Expectations, the Preliminary Rehearsal Schedule, and Parent and Cast Member Contracts for added insight into the ECT experience. Being part of a show is a terrific responsibility and a lots and lots of fun.

Elmhurst Children's Theatre is a wonderful and unique opportunity for our children. Not only will they learn stage craft they will make friends, gain confidence, and develop as individuals. Parents will join a network of new friends who work together to make our show a success!
