The Black Box Theatre is excited to bring two premiere’s to the area. Auditions for Ride the Cyclone and All Is Calm will take place in May.
Ride the Cyclone
Ride the Cyclone is a musical with music, lyrics and book by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, and tells the story of the members of the St. Cassian High School chamber choir of Uranium City, Saskatchewan, who perish on a faulty rollercoastercalled "The Cyclone". Each tells a story to win the reward of a mechanical fortune teller — the chance to return to life. The BBT production will be directed and choreographed by Shelley Cooper.
Auditions take place Saturday, May 14 from 11 to 2 with callbacks on the 15th. Prepare 32 bars of a contemporary musical theatre song that shows your range.
The show will run August 11 to 20.
All Is Calm
All Is Calm is written by Peter Rothstein with vocal arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach. It tells the story of The Western Front in World War I, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, peace. A remarkable true story, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it. All Is Calm will be music directed by Ron May and staged by Lora Adams.
Audition date is Saturday, May 21 from 11 to 2. Prepare excerpts from two Christmas carols – one up tempo, one slow that shows your range. This production is sung acappella featuring nine men.
The show will run from December 1 to 10.

Hysterical and heartbreaking stories about first sexual experiences written by real people.... just like you.
First sexual experiences are one of the few things that almost every single person on this planet has in common, whether you’re Paris Hilton or P. Diddy, George Clooney or George Washington, yet we rarely talk about them. Until now…
And now, these true stories and all of the unique characters in them are brought to life by four amazing actors in the acclaimed 90-minute play, My First Time.

Motherhood the Musical
Having a baby is just the beginning…motherhood is for life. In the original play Motherhood The Musical, four women share their insights, challenges and pleasures at a baby shower. In 90 minutes of fun, you’ll get a peek into the powerful friendship of Amy, a soon-to-be first-time mom; Brooke, a hard-working lawyer; Barb, a stressed-out mother of five; and Tina, a single mom seeking to balance work, her family and her divorce. Motherhood is a funny, yet loving look at being a mom at any age. It’s climbing the emotional mountain only to find that there’s laundry at the top.
Performances TBD
