The Yellow Door Theatre Project is running things a bit differently this year— and needs your help to make it all happen.

For the first time in the project’s history, Yellow Door will offer a full season of shows for 2024, including The Little Prince, Into the Woods Jr. and Beauty and the Beast Jr. 

Andorlie Hillstrom, the project’s founder, said that for all of the shows to run the company will need to grow from its current number of around 26 members to 45 cast members. 

“This is expanding our numbers and much of the work will be double cast to provide as many opportunities for as many participants as possible to have performing experience,” she told The Lake Report. 

Hillstrom said the first question that she gets from people is “When is the next show?”

“This will certainly help keep (the kids) challenged and interested in the arts over the course of the year,” she said. 

Auditions for the entire theatre season will take place this Sunday, June 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the theatre’s rehearsal space, 504 Line 2 Road in Virgil. 

Before coming to auditions, those interested are required to fill out a form on the theatre’s website, available at yellowdoortheatre.com/news-events. 

All information regarding age ranges and roles available are available within the form. 

“I want to see previous members come out for the auditions, but I’m always looking for new faces and new talent to come through our doors,” Hillstrom said. 

She added that everyone can look forward to what is sure to be a “terribly exciting season.”
