*****ANNOUNCEMENT*****
To all prospective FOOTLOOSE auditionees!
Sadly, we have been denied the rights to the full version of FOOTLOOSE. We were holding out hope that we could do the 90 minute version but it could take up to six weeks to get a response about getting the rights.
We are losing precious time here and feel we just can’t wait another six weeks. Therefore, we have secured the rights to West Side Story: Student Edition ( eligible ages 14 to seniors that graduate in 2025 ) so please check our website (readingcivic.org ) within a week for more info.
However, the dance auditions will still take place on Sunday, May 18th, from 6:00-9:30. So if you were planning on auditioning for Footloose and are interested in West Side Story, you MUST attend those dance auditions. Again, check our website ( readingcivic.org ) to sign up for the vocal auditions within a week. West Side Story is filled with amazing music and a fabulous story line with a great message! I promise you will love it!
