Las Positas College Theater Arts Program Announces Auditions

Las Positas College’s (LPC) Theater Arts program is excited to announce auditions for its upcoming summer production of “Footloose.” The iconic musical, based on the hit 1984 film, tells the story of a young man who works to bring back the joy of dance when he moves to a small community where dancing has been banned. The production team is looking for talented actors, singers, and dancers to bring this classic story to life. Auditions are open to anyone over the age of 15. No prior experience is necessary, and students from all majors and backgrounds are encouraged to audition.

“Theater arts is such an important part of the Las Positas College community, and we’re thrilled to be bringing ‘Footloose’ to the stage this summer,” said LPC Theater and Performing Arts Coordinator Titian Lish. “We strongly believe that diversity of all kinds contributes to a broader theatrical perspective, and we warmly encourage applicants from the many diverse communities to audition!”

Auditions for “Footloose” will be held on April 24 and 26 at the Mertes Center for the Arts, Building 4000 on the LPC campus. Rehearsals will begin in early June and performances will take place in late July.
