Director Rachel Wallace has announced audition information for the next Civic Youth production of the 2019-2020 Season "Walk Two Moons" by Tom Arvetis based on Sharon Creech's Newbery Medal-winning Novel. The production runs January 31-February 2 2020 at the Monon Depot Theatre. "Don't judge a man until you've walked two moons in his moccasins." Walk Two Moons is lovingly adapted for the stage with the same nuance and surprises offered by the original book. Utilizing multiple narrative frames the play leaps back and forth through time and memory as 13-year-old Sal tells the story of the disappearance of her best friend Phoebe's mother. Determined to find her the two girls begin seeing murderous plots and schemes around every corner. Sal shares these conspiracy theories with her Gram and Gramps during a cross-country road trip to confront her own mother who left her and her father a year ago. But it is only through telling Phoebe's story that Sal truly understands why her mother left and whether or not they'll ever be together again.

There will be an audition workshop on Sunday, December 15 for those interested in auditioning for the next MainStage production, "The Boys Next Door" by Tom Griffin. The production runs March 6-21, 2020 at the Monon Depot Theatre. The workshop will be led by Director of Education and Outreach, Julie Baumann, along with show director, Eric Adams. Actors will have a chance to read through the audition sides, and learn more about the show and what to expect from auditions. No sign-ups necessary! The place is a communal residence in a New England city, where four men with intellectual disabilities live under the supervision of an earnest, but increasingly "burned out" young social worker named Jack. Mingled with scenes from the daily lives of these four, where "little things" sometimes become momentous (and often very funny), are moments of great poignancy when, with touching effectiveness, we are reminded that all of us want only to love and laugh and find some meaning and purpose. Workshop held at the Civic Office - 313 N 5th St. Auditions: TBD
