BG OnStage - SKyPAC

Upcoming Events:

BG OnStage is the resident youth theatre of SKYPAC. We are dedicated to bringing educational experiences in the arts and quality theatrical productions to the students and families of BRADD area, continuing a 16-year history of youth theatre opportunities. Past School Day productions have included The Hobbit, Junie B Jones JR the musical, The Giver, Frozen JR, Seussical JR, and Charlotte’s Web, just to name a few!

For the last eleven years, we have worked with and prepped students who successfully auditioned for and were accepted into the Governor’s School of the Arts programs for Drama and Musical Theatre.

Audition INFORMATION:
Charlotte's Web

Audition dates for Charlotte’s Web :

Friday, August 28 from 5pm-7pm
Saturday, August 29 from 1pm-3pm
Sunday, August 30 from 3pm-4pm

Auditions will be open call, meaning first arrive, first audition. Parents should note that this is not a drop off event. Auditions will move quickly and parents need to stay on the premesis with their actors.

Auditions will consist of a cold read (sides of the script will be provided day of) so there is nothing that actors need to prepare ahead of time.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email BG OnStage Artistic Director, Elise Charny at echarny@theskypac.com .

Thank you!

She spins words like “Some Pig” in her web to convince the humans that Wilbur is extraordinary. Through her efforts and eventual sacrifice, Wilbur’s life is spared, and he learns about friendship, love, and loss.

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life on stage in Seussical, KIDS. Audiences are transported from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child, who gets in trouble for thinking too many “thinks”. Horton’s challenge is twofold– not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
