5/20-21 - AUDITIONS & CREW SIGNUP FOR CORALINE
presented by Riverwalk’s Young Artisan Workshop for actors and crew volunteers aged 10-18
Young Artisan Workshop production
Directed by Sadonna Croff

Audition Dates:  Sun & Mon, May 21&22 at 6:30 pm.

​Synopsis: Adapted from the beloved novel Coraline by Neil Gaiman, this original musical by Stephen Merritt & David Greenspan tells the story of Coraline Jones, a young girl who has just moved with her parents into a new flat in an old house.  Bored by her colorless surroundings and her busy parents, Coraline goes exploring and discovers a door unlike any in the house – a magic door that, when unlocked, reveals a passage to a strange world like her own, but with one key difference:  all the grownups have black buttons for eyes.  This new world seems to offer all she wants:  parents who are keenly interested in her, toys that sing and dance, neighbors who get her name right.  But as this parallel world becomes increasingly unsettling, Coraline must learn the true meaning of bravery to save her parents and herself.
