Auditions for Trumpet in the Land

On Saturday, March 15 from 9:00 A.M. until 2:00 P.M. in the Tuscarawas County Welcome Center located at 124 E. High Avenue in New Philadelphia, Trumpet in the Land will hold auditions for its 2025 summer season.

In addition to Paul Green’s Trumpet in the Land and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, the summer will also include a readers’ theatre production of Bonamico & Durbin’s The White Savage.

The White Savage outdoor drama was performed in repertory with Trumpet in the Land for twenty years before retiring from the stage at the end of the 2016 season.  For twenty years of The White Savage and thirty-seven years of Trumpet in the Land, the infamous Simon Girty was portrayed by co-author Joseph Bonamico.   Sadly, Joe passed away on September 21, 2024, and to honor his untimely passing, a special “reader’s” theatre production of The White Savage will be presented on three select nights in July.  Actors will gather, on stage, to read from the original script to once again bring this captivating story to life.

Those wishing to audition must provide a photo and resume, be at least 17 years of age and be available from June 1 through August 16.  Auditions for actors and singers should include a 1-2 minute memorized monologue and a minimum of 16 bars of a song including sheet music or digital accompaniment.  Dancers must provide a dance reel and technicians a resume of work experience including references.
