Uptown Music Theater Of Highland Park Announces Auditions For FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY

Uptown Music Theater of Highland Park is accepting video vocal performance audition submissions for Freckleface Strawberry, The Musical.

Based on the beloved New York Times best-selling book by celebrated actress, Julianne Moore, the show is a fun and touching family musical. Specifically created to perform for young audiences, families can step inside of the book's pages with Freckleface and friends as they learn to "love the skin they're in." With the help of her loveable schoolmates, including an amazingly talented ballerina, a cutie jock, a charming ditz and a totally kooky teacher, Freckleface learns that everyone is different - and that's what makes everyone special. Uptown Music Theater is a not-for-profit theater company, located in Highland Park, IL.

Performances - Saturday/Sunday matinees - July 24, 25, & 31, August 1
