Description
Two gangs in a fictitious city populated only by children are in a rivalry of Capone-ian standards. Dandy Dan's gang has gotten the upper hand since acquiring the "splurge" gun (a weapon that shoots whipped cream). Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer, is thrust into the limelight when he becomes the last chance Big Sam's gang has of surviving. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey... but that just isn't in the cards for our hero.
This musical theater workshop, for youth aged 5 through 18, is scheduled to begin Saturday, September 12, 2020, with auditions. All registered youth are guaranteed a place in the cast or crew. You will be contacted to schedule an audition time once your registration is confirmed. If your actor cannot attend on this date, please make arrangements in advance for a private audition. We welcome new "techies" also, but available crew positions are few. If you are registering someone who wishes to participate as a technician, please contact us first to be certain space is available.
Rehearsals for production workshops are scheduled with participants' schedules in mind. You will be asked for a list of date and time conflicts after you register, and you can make changes to that list up to September 12, 2020. We ask that, once the schedule reflecting these blackout dates is completed, you and your cast/crew member commit to attendance at all scheduled rehearsals. Unexcused absences may mean the loss of a role. The only days which are absolutely mandatory are rehearsals during Tech Week, (November 9 through 12, 2020), and performances (which includes strike immediately after the final performance).
Eight performances of Bugsy Malone, Jr. will take place over two weekends at the Black Box Youth Playhouse November 13 through 22, 2020. (Fridays at 7:00 pm; Saturdays at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm; and Sundays at 2:00 pm). To confirm your place, pay online or mail us a check. In the notes for your order, please give your child(ren)'s name and the email address you'd like for us to use when following up on your registration.
