AUDITION FORM
The Story:  The true and poignant story of Sadako Saski, who was 2 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, where she lived. Sadako, now 12 years old, is an excellent athlete who races daily with her friend Kenji. However, one day while running, Sadako gets dizzy and falls. She is hospitalized, and it is discovered that she has "radiation sickness," or leukemia—an effect of the bombing. At the hospital Kenji reminds her of the old story about the crane. If a sick person folds a thousand origami cranes, the gods will grant her wish and make her healthy again. Sadako happily begins folding hundreds of beautiful, colorful paper cranes.

Details: Performances will be February 17, 18, 23, 24 & 25 at 7pm and February 19 & 26 at 2pm. Performances will take place at the Webb Theatre on the campus of St. Norbert College.  Rehearsals will run Mondays - Thursdays, 6:30 - 8:30. Additional rehearsals may be scheduled closer to opening night. 

Auditions will consist of a lyrical dance & movement audition as well as readings from  provided materials.
All auditions are held at Evergreen's rehearsal space located at 1662 Morrow St, Green Bay
