Open auditions for Heartwood’s returning Winter Drama Adventure are scheduled in the Poe Theater at Lincoln Academy, on Monday, Dec 13 from 3-4:30 p.m. 

 

Auditions are open to all Midcoast students, grades 5-8, from any public, private or home school situation.  For audition details, go to WDA Parent Info.pdf (heartwoodtheater.org).

 

Co-Directors, Griff Braley and Heidi Kopishke, will lead students through a 50-minute version of Pinocchio, adapted from Collodi's long novel of the same name. The adaptation includes some theatrical masks, shadow and projection, music, and a very physical approach to this pilot production of “Pinocchio.” 

Braley notes, “Our last Winter Drama Adventure production was Firebird in January of 2020, and we are excited to see young drama students back on stage in 2022!”

Performances are tentatively scheduled for Jan. 28 and 29, dependent on the evolution of health considerations in the Midcoast area.
 

The Poe Theater is at 81 Academy Hill Road in Newcastle.
