Auditions for "The Mad Adventures of Mr. Toad"

Toad is a lovable, craze-prone gentleman obsessed with motorcars, and he crashes them everywhere. He lands in jail, escapes dressed as a washerwoman, and teams up with Badger, Rat and Mole to win Toad Hall back from the weasels.

You only need to come once, on December 14 or 15 at 5 p.m. Bring a current, non-returnable photo and your completed audition form, and have a parent or guardian come with you. Students go on stage in groups of five, introduce themselves, read a short part of the script and do a few simple dance combinations. Nothing needs to be memorized.

Rehearsals run Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays plus two Saturdays at Hope Church, then move to Tibbits Opera House for the final two weeks. Shows are March 18 and 19, 2027, at 7 p.m. and March 20 at 2 p.m. Julia Littley directs, with musical direction by Jayne Lillis.
