Join us on Monday, June 13, 2022 at 9:00 at the Little Theater – Camdenton Middle School for open auditions “Space Pirates!” a new musical for children. - LEARN MORE

MizzouRah!: Homegrown Theater for Children

Pirates! Aliens! Space Travel! Space Pirates tells the story of Gabby, a kid who gets picked on during a school trip to the museum. Everything quickly changes when an alien space ship accidentally beams Gabby and her classmates up to outer space. Things go from bad to worse when the alien space ship is suddenly attacked by SPACE PIRATES! Through this whirlwind space adventure, Gabby learns to become comfortable in her own skin, and her classmates learn to appreciate her for who she is.

This production will be a weeklong theatrical experience: auditions on Monday, performances in the evening of Friday, June 17 and afternoon of Saturday, June 18.

“Space Pirates!” is open to all school-aged children (ages 5-17). There is NO COST for families to participate!

Children will be given sections of the script to read/sing from during auditions. Rehearsals will begin immediately after auditions. The daily schedule will be 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM Monday-Thursday. Younger cast members will only be required to stay for half the day.

On Friday we will begin rehearsal at 1:00 PM, with our first performance at 7:00 PM. On Saturday we will meet at 11:00 AM, with our matinee performance beginning at 2:00 PM.

Given the limited rehearsal time we will be working with, participating children are required to be present for all rehearsals and performances.

PLEASE SIGN UP IN ADVANCE by contacting Bailey Puppel. Once you have signed up, we will send you a digital copy of the script and music so participating children can begin to familiarize themselves with the production. This way they can identify any particular characters they would like to audition for, and it will give us a head start on rehearsals.

PARENTS: We kindly ask that you remain present with younger cast members to assist with them as needed. We are also in need of volunteers to help with behind-the-scenes responsibilities — we would gratefully appreciate your assistance backstage as you are able!

To sign up, call Bailey at (573) 480-7080 or email bailey@infinitetouchllc.com with the names and ages of children that wish to participate. We have room in the show for approximately 50 children.

This production is directed by Bailey Puppel and hosted by MizzouRah!: Homegrown Theatre for Children of the Lake Arts Council.
