The Middlebury Community Players will hold auditions at Town Hall Theater on December 6 and 11 for their spring production of TUCK EVERLASTING THE MUSICAL, based on the 1975 American children's novel by Natalie Babbitt. TUCK was originally scheduled for spring 2020. MCP had to postpone the production due to COVID and will be presenting the show in April 2022.
Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tucks' unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: Return to her life or continue on with the Tucks on their infinite journey.
Auditions will be at Town Hall Theater on Monday, Dec. 6, from 7-9:30pm (registration starts at 6:30pm), and Saturday, Dec. 11, from 10:30am-1pm (registration starts at 10:00am). Please come to only one audition day. Auditioners must be at least 11 years old. Those younger than 18 years old must have a parent or guardian sign their audition form.
