THE MUSICAL ADVENTURES OF FLAT STANLEY JR

MARCH 28 – APRIL 5

Presented at the Battell Center

Based on the best-selling book series, Stanley folds his way around the world with his flat-tastic hijinks. Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, everyday ten-year-old until the bulletin board on the wall above his bed comes loose and falls right on top of him. The next morning, Stanley wakes up flat. 

In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley — the ultimate exchange student — scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. He’s stamped, posted from Hollywood and France to Honolulu and beyond, all in an effort to become a three-dimensional boy once more.

Perfect for the whole family, this musical journey will inspire everyone to wish upon their lucky star and never give up on their dreams!

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.
