Kelsey Theater is holding auditions for “The Further Adventures of Nick Tickle, Fairy Tale Detective,” produced by MPOnStage.
Everyone’s favorite gumshoe is back with another thrilling adventure. Old Granny Possum is entertaining us with her slightly irregular version of “Snow White and Just the Two Very Tall Persons” when she’s kidnapped by Bluebeard and his band of scurvy pirates! Thank goodness Nick Tickle has been hired to get her back. Can he outwit the kidnappers and save her or is she gone for good??
Performances dates are Saturday and Sunday, February 17 and 18, at 1 and 4 p.m.
Auditions take place Saturday and Sunday, December 9 and 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Auditions and rehearsals will be held on the campus of Mercer County Community College, West Windsor.
