April. The production dates will be in early May.
All actors should be prepared to read from the script, sing and possibly
try a few dance steps. Although singers may bring sheet music and an
accompanist, taped accompaniment music or a cappella performance is
acceptable.

be able to sing well; also Gepetto, which requires an older experienced teen
or young man.
Additional speaking roles are the Puppet Master, the Blue Fairy, Fluff and
