The Pacific Conservatory Theatre (PCPA) is holding auditions for its production of The Secret Garden on Friday, Sept. 10, from 6 to 9 p.m. The company is seeking to cast young performers (ages 12 and older) in the roles of Mary Lennox and Colin Craven, a boy and girl who both look to be around 11 years old. Auditions will be held in the Marian Theater, located on the Allan Hancock College campus in Santa Maria.
Audition attendees are asked to prepare roughly 60 seconds of a song from any musical (song must be memorized). Performers should bring sheet music for their chosen song in the correct key. An accompanist will provide live music during the auditions. Masks are required inside the audition area, except while performers are singing.
Hancock and the Actors Equity Association are requiring that all cast and crew members working in the upcoming production must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Proof of vaccination must be provided before the show’s first rehearsal on Saturday, Sept. 11.
