Auditions for the Arizona premiere of Freckleface Strawberry The Musical and the classic “super soul musical” The Wiz are being held on January 9 and 10 at 3:30pm at Valley Youth Theatre (VYT) at 525 North First Street on the southeast corner of First and Fillmore in Downtown Phoenix. Actors only need to attend one audition date.

There is no fee to participate in VYT’s main stage productions, and if cast, each actor will earn a stipend of $300 toward secondary education through VYT’s  scholarship program. No other local youth theatre offers such a program.

Freckleface Strawberry runs April 6-22, 2012 at VYT and The Wiz runs June 8-24 at the Herberger Theater Center.
