Audition Information from Backstage Studios

What is Backstage Studios? Well, it is the newest community theatre in the Hazleton Area. It is spearheaded by Joelle Witner (founder of the Pa Theatre of Performing Arts and most recent Artistic director).

Traveling down a different avenue than PTPA, Backstage Studios is aimed at the teaching of theatre. The building will be located on Laurel Street in Hazleton (formally PTPA building. Check the PTPA website for their new location information)

We would like to announce auditions for the 1st show at Backstage Studios, the children’s musical ‘NO STRINGS ATTACHED - An Adaptation of Pinocchio’ on Sunday, August 20, 2006 at the Degenhart Rehab Center. The show dates are posted on the website.

Also in November, Backstage Studios was fortunate enough to get the rights to the newly released ‘High School Musical’. Based on the Disney Movie, this show is sure to make a scene! Auditions will be held on September 1 and 3 at the new location on Laurel Street.

Please check the website for all audition information and show times. There is also a link for which you can get the background music and lyrics to practice for your High School Musical Audition!
