In summer of 2013, Spotlight Youth Theatre of Glendale, Arizona announced it would include The Flying Trunk in the final slot of its 2013-2014 season. The very first production of this show will run for 12 performances May 30 through June 15, 2014: 7pm on Fridays and Saturdays, with 2pm matinees on Saturdays and Sundays. Additional performances for schools and camps are yet to be determined.
Although it runs a small venue, Spotlight has earned a reputation over the years as one of the top theaters in the Valley. It dominates the award seasons, and is known as a "feeder" of young artists moving on to collegiate and professional arts projects and careers. SYT pushes the usual boundaries of youth theater with often edgy and difficult material, but they rarely produce original works. So, it is extremely fortunate for The Flying Trunk to be launched by this particular organization!
As of this writing, auditions are in the planning process. See the Spotlight Youth Theatre web site for the specific instructions for actors ages 8-19 (with most roles for ages 14-19) auditioning this Tuesday-Wednesday, April 15-16.
We look forward to sharing more details of how this production comes together in the coming weeks.
