Signature Spotlight: Animation Magic Auditions Sept. 6

Auditions for the Racine Theatre Guild’s (RTG) for the first concert in its newest series, Signature Spotlight, will be held at Holy Communion Lutheran Church, 2000 W 6th St., Racine on Thursday, September 6 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.

Dubbed “the happiest concert on earth,” the “Animation Magic” concert will feature the Union Grove Chamber Choir and a select group of outstanding soloists bringing songs from animated classics to life. Traveling from the mysterious city of Agrabah, to under the sea, all the way to St. Petersburg, the concert is sure to dazzle and delight audiences of all ages.

The Signature Spotlight Concert Series is a trio of musical revue concerts featuring volunteer musicians and singers, plus school choral groups from the Racine area. With varying themes and song styles, each performance appeals to a wide variety of signers and audience members. A Spotlight Star, a talented student in high school, will also be featured during each concert.

Spotlight Star auditions will be held from 5 p.m. – 6 p.m. are open to any incoming freshman through senior attending high school in our area. Selected soloist auditions, open to anyone 18 and older, will follow from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. Limited rehearsals will require strong singers to learn music on their own with only a few coaching sessions.

Those interested in auditioning must sign-up for a half-hour time slot. Bring sheet music and sing 30 – 60 seconds of a prepared song in the concert’s style. An accompanist will be provided and tape recordings or unaccompanied singing are not permitted. Register for a time slot by calling RTG at (262) 633-4218 and visit www.racinetheatre.org for more information.
