The Winnipesaukee Playhouse Education Department and the Winni Players Community Theatre, two branches of the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, are both holding auditions for upcoming spring productions.
The Education Department will be producing two plays this spring. Charlotte’s Web, a lovingly adapted version of the classic E.B. White novel will be performed March 24 to 26. It will be directed by Patte Sarausky, a retired elementary school educator and long-time director and teacher for the Playhouse. Auditions will be held on Feb. 3 and 4 and local students aged eight to 13 are encouraged to attend.
The Playhouse’s newly appointed Director of Education, Cory Lawson, will be at the helm for Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night which is open to local 13 to 18-year-olds. Auditions will be held the week of Feb. 12. The show will be performed April 14 to 16.
The Winni Players, one of the longest-running community theatre groups in the area, will be presenting Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor, on April 27 to 30. The group is holding auditions on Feb. 19 and 21. The screwball comedy will be directed by Rick Morten who has directed for the Players many times in the past, winning a NH Theatre Award for his direction of The Laramie Project.
