(ST
CHARLES) Vero Voce School of Performing Arts in St Charles has expanded its Children’s
Theatre programing for the 2013-14 Season. The first Children’s Theatre
production of the season, for ages 8-18 years, will be THE STORY OF HANSEL AND
GRETEL, book by Vera Morris, music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur. A sweet and charming musical adaptation.  Sent into the
woods, Hansel and Gretel meet up with a number of peculiar characters.  A
fiery troll guards his little wooden bridge.  Even more, an articulate
owl, a forest sprite and two hobgoblins are in the service of an evil (but
extremely funny) witch.  She locks poor Hansel in a cage and feeds him
nothing but cake!  Everyone will cheer Gretel as she outwits the crone and
sets free all the children who have been turned into cookies!  Every
dramatic moment is brought to life, from the night spent in the woods to the
discovery of the candy-coated little cottage.  Sweetened delightfully with
music, all will enjoy the fun of songs like "Gingerbread Witch" and
"Apple Muffin Goblins." The production will be directed and
choreographed by Kim Maslo, with Vocal Direction by David Cramer.

Young actors will be
required to prepare a monologue of no more than one minute in length and one
16-bar musical theater vocal selection. Please bring music in your key. An
accompanist will be provided. Auditions will be held by appointment on
Saturday, August 10, 2013 from 1:00-4:00 pm at Vero Voce School of Performing
Arts in St Charles. For an audition appointment, please call (630) 584-0139 or
