Calling all former BDN Grads who are now elementary students! Check out this exciting opportunity from our community partner: Parlando School of Musical Arts

Current K-4th graders are invited to audition for Parlando's summer kids musical, Every Color! Rehearsals and performances will be July 13-19, and auditions are 4/25 at the Dairy Center. Auditions will be in a group format and very low-pressure. Sign up for your audition here! This musical will be having its WORLD PREMIERE at Parlando this summer, so be a part of something special! Each character in the show is a color of the rainbow. You can read more about the synopsis and characters in the audition form. Hope you'll join us this summer!

When the ROY G BIV Rainbow meets the color Gray, their world is turned upside down. How do you make a rainbow? Is there really room for every color? Gray sets off on a journey with newfound friend Orange to find somewhere to belong, discovering a whole kaleidoscope of colors along the way. Together they’ll find out that we all need each other to make our world beautiful.
