WAITRESS Tour to Hold Local Auditions for 'Lulu' at Fox Cities P.A.C.

The Tony-nominated musical WAITRESS will make its Wisconsin premiere at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center Nov. 28 - Dec. 3.

The production will be holding auditions to find two young girls to alternate the role of "Lulu" for the duration of their Fox Cities engagement. Auditions will be held at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, October 11 from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.

The character of "Lulu" is a sweet and carefree young girl aged 4-5 who appears in the production's finale. Young girls that would like to audition should be no older than 5 years and 6 months, and must be less than 4 feet 2 inches tall. Each audition will take approximately 5 minutes, and each child will be asked to read two lines from the show. Individual applicants are welcome, as are sets of twins or siblings. If possible, parents should bring a current photo and resume for each child. Prior acting experience is not required.

Interested participants must register on our website. Registration is open now and audition slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To sign up for an audition or get more information, parents can visit www.foxcitiespac.com.

Brought to life by a groundbreaking, all-female creative team, this irresistible new hit features original music and lyrics by six-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles ("Brave," "Love Song"), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam), and direction by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus (Finding Neverland, Pippin, Hair).

Inspired by Adrienne Shelly's beloved film, WAITRESS tells the story of Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. While her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness, a baking contest in a nearby county and the town's new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start, but Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life. Don't miss this uplifting musical celebrating friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.

Waitress runs Tuesday, November 28 - Sunday, December 3. Visit foxcitiespac.com for performance dates and times.
