New Summer Stock Brings Sweeney Todd to the North Bay 

 Sweeney Todd is coming to Novato this summer!  Marin Summer Theater (MST), an evening program for students of performing arts, will present Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece as part of its three-show season in July and August, along with The Beaux' Stratagem, a Restoration comedy, and Bernstein on Broadway, a music and dance review.  The program will run June 15-Aug. 2.

 MST is open to students throughout the North Bay: those entering eighth grade, high school students, and college undergraduates under age 23.  Students from all over Marin and Sonoma counties are encouraged to participate.  Auditions for actors, musicians, and dancers will be held by appointment Mar. 21 at San Marin High School in Novato, pre-registration is required.  (Those who are unable to attend auditions in person may submit a DVD recording.)  Technicians and designers also may submit applications; they will be interviewed by phone.  Acceptance is subject to audition and payment of tuition.  Fee for the entire season is $275 for participation in one, two, or three shows. 

According to artistic director Patrick Nims, several factors make MST unique.  "First and foremost, MST is a challenging program for young performers and theater technicians interested in developing their talents through the production of great theater.  Working on as many as three different productions in a seven-week period is intense.  Second, the inclusion of kids from different schools and educational levels raises the quality of performance and expands participants' horizons.  Third, since we are sponsored by non-profit San Marin High School Music Boosters we can focus on serving our students at the lowest possible cost, keeping tuition low because of our volunteer network and the assistance we receive from San Marin High School and the Novato Unified School District."

To help interested applicants prepare for auditions MST is offering a free workshop on Saturday, Mar. 14 (1-3 pm) at San Marin High School.  Students will learn more about the scheduled shows and the audition process, with attention to each person's performance material.  Nims says, "There is no requirement that prospective participants attend the workshop, but it's a good opportunity to meet the staff and prepare a great audition."

Details about the program, audition scheduling, and application forms can be found on the MST web site at www.marinsummertheater.org.
