Auditions for CLT Original Musical 'A New Home'

Description

Community Little Theatre (CLT) will hold auditions for the original musical production “A New Home” on August 10 and 11 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. 

“A New Home” will be presented as CLT’s first production of the 2025-26 season, opening on October 30. “A New Home” tells the rich and complex history of Lewiston. Written and composed by Paul G. Caron with a new adaptation of the original book by Michael Rosenthal, Richard Martin and Lynn Geiger, the show was first performed to sold-out audiences in 1995 for the Lewiston Bicentennial. 

This production brings to life the stories of Lewiston’s Indigenous, Franco-American, African, and other immigrant communities, whose contributions have shaped the city’s identity and culture. In the thirty years since the original production, major events – both good and tragic - have occurred in Lewiston and are now represented in the musical’s revival to enhance its relevance and historical significance. 

Auditioners will sing and read from the script (no dancing). Most of the actors cast for the show will play two or three roles. All actors will be taught ASL for one song that will be signed and sung. 

The script, songs, and character descriptions are all available online at laclt.com/a-new-home. Auditions for “A New Home” will be held at CLT located at 30 Academy Street in Auburn.
