Ocean State Theatre Company announces Open Children’s Auditions for its 2015 summer production of “Gypsy.” Needed are:

June: Strong female actor/dancer/singer who can believably be a “child superstar.” Girls with special skills such as baton twirling, acrobatics, pointe work, high kicks, splits, etc. will be given preference and should be prepared to demonstrate any special skill at the audition. Children auditioning must be less than 58 inches tall and should look no older than 8 years old.

Louise: strong female actor/singer. Children auditioning must be less than 59 inches tall and should look no older than 10 years old.

Balloon Girl: One strong female actor/dancer/singer who can understudy both June and Louise and the newsboys. Children auditioning must be less than 60 inches tall and should look no older than 10 years old.

Newsboys: Up to four male singer/dancers with tons of charisma. Boys with special skills like tap, playing a musical instrument, (clarinet, oboe, violin, etc., not guitar or piano), will be given preference and should be prepared to demonstrate special skills at the audition. If you play an instrument, please bring it to the audition and be ready to play. Children auditioning must be less than 60 inches tall and should look no older than 12 years old.

Selected children will need to be available for afternoon, evening and weekend rehearsals and performances from June 23 through Aug. 2.

Auditions for all roles will be held on Friday, April 10 from 3-6 p.m. and Saturday, April 11 from 9 a.m.-12 noon at Ocean State Theatre, 1245 Jefferson Boulevard, Warwick. Those auditioning should enter through the main lobby doors and bring their headshot or a recent photo and resume (if available). Children should come with a short prepared song, preferably with sheet music. A cappella is also acceptable. No tape recorders or CD players. Those asked to stay may learn a short dance combination and/or be asked to do cold readings from the script. Please bring or wear appropriate shoes for dancing. Sign-ups for both auditions will begin 30 minutes prior. Those auditioning Friday must be signed in no later than 5:00 pm. Those auditioning Saturday must be signed in no later than 11:00 am.
