Girls in the Boat

JANUARY 31 – FEBRUARY 9

Presented in the Warner Studio

Girls in the Boat is the story of a group of smart, fiery young women inspired by the true stories of the U.S. women’s Olympic rowing team. These young women fight discrimination, ridicule, and prejudice to compete in the male-dominated sport of rowing, while forming bonds, overcoming disagreements, and striving for greatness – all to the rhythm of their oars. Going on to become the most winning sports team in American history, the women of this fast paced drama remind us of what we can all do if we have a common purpose and “pull” together.

GHOSTLIGHT

CIVIC YOUTH COMPANY

JANUARY 10-11

Presented in the Warner Studio

When indifferent student Garbiela Nettles is inexplicably admitted to the prestigious Doves Forge Academy, all she wants to do is leave. But before she can get herself expelled, Garbiela starts to hear sounds that no one else hears: ghost echoes from the remnants of a long-ago tragedy in the school’s theatre. As she investigates the sounds (by joining the disastrous play in progress), Garbiela uncovers a story that’s both surprising and surprisingly moving. Theatrically staged using the production’s audience and live sound effects, Ghostlight has hilarious characters, unexpected twists, and a riotous finale.

AUDITION

Acting auditions are cold readings (scenes/monologues) from the scripts. Musical auditions involve singing and dancing portions to their process.

SBCT is committed to reflecting the diversity of the community by color-blind casting whenever possible (unless dictated by the particular script) and encourages and welcomes actors of all backgrounds to audition.

CIVIC YOUTH CLASSES
