'FAME' at The Epstein Theatre is looking for new talent!
MERSEYSIDE'S Talented young
performers take note! Are you looking for fame? Do you want to light up the
sky like a flame and for people to remember your name? Read on!!!
The LHK Youth Theatre will be staging the smash hit musical 'FAME' at The
Epstein Theatre in July 2016 and is currently on the lookout for the
region's hottest new talent.
Producer Lee Kelly is looking to put together a cast of 30 for the musical
which is based on the 1980 hit musical film Fame which starred Irene Cara
and featured the famous title song.
The film told the story of students at New York City's High School of
Performing Arts and was followed by a 6 season television series and the
musical. It starred the fame obsessed Carmen, ambitious actress Serena,
wisecracking comedian/bad boy Joe, quiet violinist Schlomo, talented but
dyslexic dancer Tyrone, determined actor Nick, overweight dancer Mabel, and
poor dancer Iris.
However, producer Lee is looking for strong dancers for his production of
'FAME', who can also sing and act and are good all round
performers.
The auditions are open to performers aged 8 to 19 and will be held at 12pm,
with registration at 11.30am, so make sure you get there in plenty of time.
They don't need to worry about preparing an audition piece as Lee's team of
experienced professionals will give you a choreographed routine or song to
sing.
As well as getting the chance to star in a great show, performance will gain
invaluable stage experience working with LHK Youth Theatre, the region's
leading youth arts organisation.
Successful candidates will then get to train with the best in the industry
and star in a variety of productions from glittering pantomimes to fast
paced musicals, touring shows and youth productions.
Established by Lee Kelly, managing director of LHK Productions, the Youth
Theatre has nurtured the talent of thousands of young people over the past
decade and previous members have gone on to become TV stars, West End
performers and entertain on cruise ships worldwide!
Having celebrated its 10th birthday last year, LHK Productions is still as
committed to delivering both fun and traditional shows to the theatre,
complete with a fresh and modern twist, as it was back in 2005. It's this
ethos that has turned LHK into a global brand, with huge deals with
companies in both Lebanon and Dubai.
Lee is looking forward to the next 10 years and is planning to create a pool
of fresh young talent from across Merseyside to perform in a variety of
productions from pantomimes and touring shows to youth productions.
Lee explained:- "At LHK Youth Theatre we aim to inspire, train and
showcase exceptional performers aged 4 to 19 from all over the North West.
It is not a dancing school; we cover a broad range of performance skills
including singing, dancing and acting. Each year we reach out across the
region to discover exceptional new talent. Our training is based on the
basic principal that the best place for young people to learn about the
performing arts is on stage in front of a live audience. We provide a
platform for young talent to be showcased on a regional, national and
international stage in iconic theatres throughout the UK and beyond. Our
incomparable team of professional creative artists lead a fun, challenging
educational programme which not only teaches children about performing arts
and the skills required to excel in this field but we also teach
transferable skills essential for children at any stage of their
development."
LHK Youth Theatre is open to all levels from beginners to advanced; so
whether you are an experience performer, or just fancy having a go, then
come along to the auditions which will be held at The Epstein Theatre on
Sunday, 7 February 2016 at 11.30am.
If you are successful in gaining a place in the Youth Theatre, you must be
prepared to rehearse twice a week. (Membership fees apply).
