Auditions set for summer production of 'Tinker Bell' at The Sauk

JONESVILLE — The Sauk, Hillsdale County's community theatre, will have auditions for its upcoming production of “Tinker Bell” at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 11, and at 7 p.m. Sunday, May 12.

Everyone thinks they know Peter Pan. But until you have heard Tinker Bell’s side of the story, you really have not heard it at all. When all the fairies in Neverland start dying, Tinker Bell comes to London to find a friend. There she meets a young boy named Peter Pan who has just run away from his family so he can be a little boy forever and have fun.

When Tink takes Peter to Neverland, all sorts of wonderful and amazing things happen: flowers grow, animals appear and pirates arrive. But as Peter brings more Lost Boys and the Darling children back to her island, Tink finds she doesn’t like sharing her friend with anyone else. Especially that Wendy girl.

This fresh and intensely theatrical adaptation of the classic story emphasizes play and fun as well as the complicated nature of friendship.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. No preparation necessary. Auditions are open to anyone age nine to 99. No experience necessary.
