This year for their annual spring musical, the First United Methodist Church of Coppell will be performing the classic “West Side Story” on March 25th-28th. To start up the production process, auditions for the show will be held Dec. 10 and 11 starting at 7:00 pm. Auditions will be held at the church, though it is open to anyone — you do not have to be a member of the church to participate.

Those who wish to try out for a part other than chorus are asked to bring and perform 16 bars from a musical theatre piece. Songs from the show are prefered, but not required. All will be asked to sing, run a few lines and perform a short dance number to judge on placement in the show.

The show has a heavy emphasis on male roles and will require lots of outside time out of school. However, the performance is shaping up to be a landmark in FUMC history — don’t miss out on your opprotunity to be a part of it!
