GYPSY, FROZEN, and MATILDA Casting
Thank you to all the talented youth who auditioned and came to callbacks. There is so much talent in Wichita and we are lucky to have you share your talents with us! Below are the youth cast in our mainstage productions this summer.
For those of you not cast, we have plenty of other opportunities this summer through our education program. Summer camps and workshop registration will open on Monday, March 4 at 9:00am. We will have several camps where young performers can participate in performing onstage as part of the pre-show before MATILDA and FROZEN. There is also a FROZEN camp where campers will get to be a part of the show. We would love to have you join us for any of our other opportunities this summer. In August we will be holding auditions for JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT.
