Upcoming Auditions

Here at the Studio, we believe auditions don’t have to be scary. That’s why we work hard to make them fun. No cattle-call, get ’em in and get it done over here. We’re going to take time to calm nerves, chat a little, and hopefully create an environment that doesn’t freak anyone out. Hey, we’ve been there. We know how intimidating it can be to sing your guts out to a table of “judges”… so we’re going to do everything we can think of to make sure every child has an awesome audition experience!

‘We are pioneers in the wilderness bringing stories tall and true. In a world that’s learned to move right by, we bring hope long overdue.’

Wrangle yer horses, untangle the lasso, and shine up yer spurs, it’s time for auditions for The Great American Tall Tales!

Sharp as a whipcrack, this wild and western musical written by Adam and Courtney Walsh, (Grimm, Girls of Summer), comes a-ridin’ onto the stage, lassoing tornados, fightin’ off mountain lions with a hand tied behind its back, and taming the hearts and minds of audiences of all ages.

When a trio of fifth grade friends on a history museum tour wander into the closed-off, soon-to-be-replaced “Tall Tales” wing of their local history museum, they discover way more than they were expecting.

Familiar characters like Davy Crockett, Annie Oakley, Paul Bunyan, and Johnny Appleseed come to life, stepping right out of their displays, offering wisdom, one-upping each other (‘cause behind every bangtail swaggerin’ man, there’s a woman who’s rollin’ her eyes), and a string of fantastically poignant stories that nail the bullseye every single time.

The characters from American folklore love spinnin’ stories about ridin’ catfish and shootin’ the wings off a gnat at five hundred yards . . . but no one else seems to. Not this generation. Everyone seems to have forgotten, moved on, plugged in and tuned out, and these stories are no longer being told. Slowly, these larger-than-life men and women who once captured the wonder of the Wild West are being forgotten.

Because of that, they’re losing their ability to come to life and soon will be nothing more than statues, gathering dust in crates.

Can the Tall Tales convince these kids to carry on the tradition? Can they stave off being put in storage, and conquer the wild and open plain . . .one last time?

With countrified, toe-tappin’, knee slappin’ music, hilariously fun characters, along with a timely message about taking time for what’s really important, audiences of all ages will be whistling the tunes and getting an itch to learn to lasso.
