Drayton Entertainment's 'Youth Theatre Program' gives aspiring young performers an incredible opportunity

Local youth have the opportunity to audition for a professional show as well as participate in a musical theatre program. Both have served as a training ground for numerous young people over the years. Last year’s show included two Barrie youth, two from Elmvale, among a cast of other youth from around Simcoe County.

Drayton Entertainment will be holding auditions for this year’s show Sleeping Beauty: The Panto which will be staged in June at the King’s Wharf Theatre in Penetanguishene. The Feb. 8 auditions will determine this year’s Children’s Chorus for the show. The youth cast age nine to 15 will be divided into teams and will perform in the show on a rotating schedule. Young performers must sign up in advance. Auditions will be held at James Keating Public School in Penetanguishene.

More information about Children’s Chorus audition requirements, show dates, and more is available at www.draytonentertainment.com/Online/article/youth-auditions

Five years ago, Drayton Entertainment started a Youth Musical Theatre Program to provide aspiring young performers an opportunity to learn from professional theatre artists and develop a deeper appreciation for live performance. Students receive training in singing, dancing, acting, audition technique, and technical theatre.

This week-long program takes place in Penetanguishene July 20-24 for ages 10 to 18. More information about the Youth Musical Theatre Program, including tuition costs and audition requirements, is available at www.youthmusicaltheatreprogram.com
