The Brunton Summer School - audition announcement
Young people aged 11 to 18 are invited to step into the spotlight and audition on Sunday 17 May 12.30pm to 4pm, to be part of The Brunton’s Summer School this July and August, in Haddington.
Over two fun weeks, the group will learn Chicago Teen Edition script, songs, dances and theatre skills bringing the show to the stage for six public performances at the Corn Exchange in Haddington. This is a fantastic opportunity for young people who love to perform. Whether a singer, dancer, actor or all three, this is a chance to bring passion, creativity and confidence to the stage in an unforgettable summer experience.
Those wishing to join the free audition must book a place via The Brunton’s website at https://www.thebrunton.co.uk/whats-on/auditions-chicago-teen-edition/ .
The audition takes place at Corn Exchange, Court Street, Haddington. There’s nothing to prepare in advance, all material will be taught on the day, in a relaxed and informal workshop format.
Participants will be asked to take part in short acting exercises, join a vocal warm up, sing music from the production and learn and perform a short section of choreography.
Chicago Teen Edition is filled with iconic music, slick choreography and serious attitude. Fast, fearless and full of edge - this is not a fairy tale. It’s bold, confident and unapologetically theatrical.
The Brunton and David Ross invite young performers aged 11 to 18, to warm up, strike a pose, bring that old razzle dazzle and get ready for a summer filled with all that Jazz!
The Chicago Teen Edition Summer School takes place from Monday 27 July to Saturday 8 August at Corn Exchange, Haddington. Total cost to participate in the summer project is £240.
A limited number of funded places are available for children from families on low incomes, underrepresented groups or other eligibility criteria. To find out about funded places email BPAN@eastlothian.gov.uk .
Taking part in creative activities is fun and helps build confidence, fuels the imagination and develops skills that are useful in all areas of life. As well as developing a range of acting and performance skills, it is a great way to meet new people, build confidence, and above all, have fun!
