Vero Voce Announces Auditions for "Pocahontas" in St. Charles
The "Wordspinner" and the rhythmic beat of the tom-toms open and close this charming musical adventure for all age groups. Pocahontas is the daughter of the mighty Algonquin Chief Powhatan. The princess delights in playing with Raven, Wolf and Squirrel. Pocahontas has also made friends with the English settlers of Jamestown, a community struggling with starvation and sickness. This enchanting musical is graced with a wonderful cast of characters: Little Running Rabbit, Brave Eagle, Aunt Morning Star, Forest Spirits, Mother Earth and, of course, the people of Jamestown. Filled with Native American lore and beautiful music, this play is true to the original legend. Audiences will be swept away with DeTurk’s original music, featuring such songs as "Live Forever," "No Common Ground" and the beautiful "Your Heart Always Knows." The production will be directed and choreographed by Kim Maslo, with Vocal Direction by David Cramer.
Young actors will be required to prepare a monologue of no more than one minute in length and one 16-bar musical theater vocal selection. Please bring music in your key.
