Throughout the production process, students will have the fundamentals of musical theater performance reinforced through real-life application of acting, dance, and voice performance. In addition to having access to the creative and technical resources of a professional production company, all YAS! productions are accompanied live by the PMT Band.
Auditions for our upcoming production of Barnyard Follies will take place on September 8, 2018, at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. For the audition, students should prepare a minute-long cut from a musical theater or pop music song. Please bring sheet music in the correct key. An accompanist will be provided. At the end of each audition slot, students will be taught a brief dance combination. Please come dressed to move. All students audition for roles within the production, not for entrance into the production--all students will be cast in Barnyard Follies.
About Barnyard Follies:
"When the Wholesome Acres Farm in Ohio falls on hard times, its animal residents hatch a brilliant plan to save their home: they’ll put on a show. They find the perfect impresario in Felicty, a New York City cat who has made her human Reynold a star director by whispering all “his” best ideas to him. Felicity, eager to get a little credit for once, strong-paws Reynold into taking her to Ohio.
Felicity works to help her animal cast mold their unique talents. But egos (including her own) threaten to turn their creative process to chaos. Romances flicker, as Royster the Rooster pursues a dubious Gladys the Goat and the local tomcat Colbert (the production’s author) secretly pines for Felicity.
As developers hover, ready to turn the farm into a parking lot, all must band together and find skills they never knew they had (even Reynold). Driven by an infectious Tin-Pan-Alley infused score, Barnyard Follies celebrates our differences, the importantce of teamwork, and the power of dancing--on hooves, paws, or whatever you’ve got."
