Fayette Coweta Family Theatre, Inc. is holding open auditions for their upcoming fall musical "Disney's Mulan Jr." on Saturday, Sept. 27.

Auditions will be held at the Fayette Family YMCA Lodge  House at 215 Huiet Drive in Fayetteville. Over 40 young performers ages 8 to 18 years are needed to bring this inspirational musical to the stage. Parts are open to all nationalities and you do not have to be Asian to be considered for leading, supporting or ensemble roles.

FCFT is looking for strong singers and movers as well as actors to comprise this cast. Children ages 8 to 10 will be cast as the Elements Ensemble and portray the effects of wind, fire, an avalance, marching soldiers, thunder and the boys and girls of the village. The older ensemble will take on the roles of mothers, fathers, soldiers and villagers, and many ensemble cast members will have featured solos throughout the show.

Numerous speaking, singing and dancing roles are available for performers ages 11 to 18. Auditions will consist of a taught dance and song from the show for everyone. Those being considered for speaking roles will be asked to do some reading from the script.

Auditions for those ages 8 to 10 will take place at 11 a.m., for those ages 12 to 14 at 2 p.m. and auditions for those 15 to 18 at 3:30 p.m. Call backs for all roles will be at 5:30 p.m. Those auditioning are asked to arrive at least five to ten minutes prior to their scheduled time in order to fill out paperwork.
