DIY Theatre Theatre Holds Auditions for 'Peter Pan'

DIY Summer Theatre, now in its SIXTH successful season, invites kids entering grades 3 to 9 to audition for roles in its summer production of "Peter Pan."

This is the magical story about a boy who doesn’t want to grow up and spends his life in Neverland with his band of “lost boys” battling pirates and Indians. 

Children will have a summer to remember, learning stage skills, music and dance, as well as making new friends and being a part of something special together. 

Auditions are open to children from Elmhurst and neighboring communities, beginning at 3:30 pm on Tuesday, May 20 at Faith Evangelical United Methodist Church (corner of North and York in Elmhurst). Callbacks will take place on Thursday, May 22  at 4 pm. 

Visit the DIY website to sign up for an audition slot or call Helen at 630 242- 0570. 

If you want to try out but can’t make the audition date, email helen@diyteentheatre.com. 

Prepare a 1-minute monologue or poem, and be ready to sing 32 bars of music in the style of the show. Rehearsals begin in early June and run Monday to Friday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Elmhurst. Actors will not be called to every rehearsal and we will work around your summer schedule wherever possible. Performances are July 26th to 28th  at Bryan Middle School Auditorium.

If cast, there is a participation fee of $245 to cover script rental, special costume pieces, performance venue rental, sets, lighting, etc.
