Auditions ensued for West Branch Performing Arts’ spring musical, Mamma Mia! On December 21st. The auditioning members presented in front of eight judges, some of which were from local theatre departments.
In a meticulous audition process, auditionees learned a short dance, sang a song of their choice, read a monologue, and conversed in a brief dialogue. The panel then selected their performers in fitting roles.
No callbacks were necessary for lead roles or ensembles. Practices intend to start as soon as possible. Performance dates will be March 30th, March 31st, April 1st, and April 2nd.
