Auditions for "The Mad Adventures of Mr. Toad"
Tibbits Opera House holds auditions for students in grades 4-8 for its spring musical, The Mad Adventures of Mr. Toad, on Tuesday, December 15, at 5 p.m. in Coldwater, Michigan. A second audition day is Monday, December 14, and kids only need to come to one.
Toad of Toad Hall is an eccentric but lovable fellow who is obsessed with motorcars and crashes them everywhere. His friends Badger, Rat and Mole try to help, but Toad lands in prison, escapes dressed as a washerwoman, and then joins his pals in a scheme to win Toad Hall back from the weasels.
Bring a current, non-returnable photo and the completed audition form, and come with a parent or guardian. Students are called to the stage in groups of five to introduce themselves, read a short part of the script and try some simple dance combinations. The reading doesn't need to be memorized.
Rehearsals run Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays plus two Saturdays. 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.
