THE BARN IS SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER KIDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM THIS FALL!
Since we are strictly adhering to safety protocols we will not be able to have the many children we normally have doing a large musical production in our building. In order to continue with our policy of casting all children who audition we will be splitting our casts in cohorts of no more than 15 children in a particular cast. We will also offer two different opportunities to perform. The first is Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, a comedic fractured fairytale play sure to be ton of fun to perform. The second, Quaran-Teens, is a dramatic teen perspective on the pandemic. |
In addition to prepared material the actors will have an opportunity to write their own experiences with 2020 to be integrated into the performance.
Auditions for both will be held on the same days by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Auditions will be one child at a time unless you are siblings coming in to audition together. Rehearsals will typically be between 5-8 children in the building at a time until tech week where there will be up to 15 children in the building at a time.
Our intention and hope is that we will be performing these live.
However, given that things are uncertain these days both of these pieces were selected because they were written to be performed virtually. Therefore, if circumstances are such that we need to change rehearsals or even performances to virtual we will be able to seamlessly so these shows will go on.
To set up your audition send us an email at madbarnproductions@gmail.com
and let us know what date you want to audition and we will send you an audition time and audition instructions.

Favorite teen scene writer Laurie Allen has created a powerful exploration of a variety of teen responses to the pandemic and the safer-at-home restrictions that come with it. From restoring old friendships and keeping traditions alive to missing baseball, graduation, prom, and so much more, all offering a unique, true-to-life point of view of this real-world crisis. In addition to the materials actors will have an opportunity, if they would like to, write about their own experiences to be included in the performance.

Fairy tales may not have the magic of technology, but they do have magic! And through the wonders of the magic mirror, even fairy tales can come to life!
The Evil Queen wishes to be fairest of them all. But when her Magic Mirror informs her that it is Snow White who is most fair, the queen is livid! When asked how to find the princess, her mirror mentions that Snow White has run away. The Evil Queen summons great magic in hopes of finding Snow White — she can now look through all mirrors throughout the kingdom. But there’s a catch... the magic also allows everyone else’s mirrors to show them what they most wish to see. This fractured fairytale has all of your favorite fairy tale characters but with a twist.

Quarantine was made a little more fun by our Producer Robyn Klaskin (and some members of her family) when she visited the driveway of many of the cast members to leave a message of encouragement! Here is a video she put together of pictures that were taken during that time.

cThe Little Mermaid: Quarantine Edition
In January of 2020 MadBarn productions began the auditions for The Little Mermaid Jr. Little did anyone know that things would change dramaticly in March. The Barn, like everywhere else, had to shut its doors due to the quarantine and all progress halted. The production team "got together" via zoom and put forth a plan to continue rehearsals via online in hopes there would one day be a final performance. Sadly, as time went on, an in-person production became less and less likely. Once again the fabulous minds of the production team came together and have produced a cast album for the cast to enjoy for all their hard work over these last months. As soon as we finalize it, we will post it here. |
Rap-punzel ~ The Radio play
|
Julie Fitzpatrick, an extremely talented actress, writer, & director started working with a group of students, in an acting workshop, with the hopes to perform an adaptation of the always popular story of Rapunzel. Unfortunately Covid 19 had other plans. The actors were challenged but unwavered in their pursuit and ended up rehearsing online until they mastered their parts. Then, with the generous help of a talented sound engineer, Zachary Hollback, the kids recorded themselves and a RapPunzel Radio Play was born! Click on the link to the left to hear how awesome it came out!! Congrats to the cast and crew!
