Local thespians are being sought by the Wagon Wheel Theatre for roles in upcoming holiday productions of “Oliver” and “I Want My Mummy!”

Children and teens from ages 9 years to 18 years old are welcome to audition for parts on Saturday, Aug. 25. Auditions begin at noon at the Wagon Wheel.

Auditions will consist of a short song and dance that will be taught that day.

The director is looking to fill the role of Oliver – a boy between the ages of 10 years to 14 years old – and the Artful Dodger – a boy between the ages of 10 years and 16 years old. There is also a girl’s role for the Nov. 18 through Dec. 16 production.

For the production of “I Want My Mummy!” – which runs from Oct. 7-28 – boys and girls between the ages of 9 years and 18 years old are being cast. All roles in both productions require signing and acting.

Additional roles for orphans and the ensemble will be cast.
