Asante auditions

The Asante Children’s Theatre will host auditions for acceptance into the theater’s academy on Sept. 18 at the Christamore House Family and Community Center, 502 N. Tremont Ave.

If accepted, students will be exposed to 26 weeks of performing arts skill development workshops in dancing, singing, storytelling and acting, as well as in physical warm-ups, healthy nutrition and financial literacy.

The first session runs from Sept. 22 to March 13 and is built around the production “Abena & the Python.”

Auditions should consist of a two-minute memorized monologue, a two-minute dance routine, and a two-minute song performed a cappella.
