Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library is hosting a dramatic presentation by local youth, highlighting values such as individuality, tolerance, and comfort with one’s identity.
Auditions for “Free to Be…You and Me” are open for children age 10 and up and will be staged at the end of this month at the library. Audition material will be available for review at the library after May 7. For interested students and parents, the complete ABC Television production is available on YouTube.
“Free to Be…You and Me” is a joint production between the library and the Performing Arts Center Youth Theater. The play marks the centerpiece of the Cashiers Library’s Summer Learning Project. It’ll be staged at the library the evening of Friday, August 3, and Sunday afternoon, August 5.
“We’re really excited to be offering this play – especially at this time,” says director Megan Greenlee-Potts. “It uses poetry, song, and sketches to teach that anyone can achieve anything. This message is delivered in a fun, upbeat manner and is suitable for audiences of all ages.
“We start rehearsal Monday, June 4. We’ll rehearse June and July learning songs, dances, acting and blocking.”
Greenlee-Potts says that auditions are open to any young person 10 and older, regardless of skill levels and past experience in plays. Parents and youth are invited to contact Greenlee-Potts at (828) 200-0889 or (828) 743-0215.
