No Business Like Show Business


Got a talented kid? (Of course you do!) Producers are searching North Texas for little stars in the making, around ages 8-12, to appear in the Dallas Summer Musicals engagement of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang starting June 23 at Dallas' Music Hall at Fair Park. Auditions are set for 5-9pm this Thursday, May 28, at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas. Kids, with a parent or guardian in tow, must arrive by 5pm and be prepared to sing 16 bars a cappella of an upbeat song of their choice. They should also be prepared to learn and perform a bit of simple choreography at the audition. Head shots and professional experience are not required.

Six kids (plus two alternates) will be chosen to play orphans in act 2 of the show, which will run through July 5. Children chosen won't receive compensation for their roles, but they will get a whole lot of performance experience. Start practicing!
