The Racine Theatre Guild will be holding open auditions for "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" on Saturday, September 5 from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday, September 6 from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Caractacus Potts is an aspiring inventor and doting father. When his children beg him to fix up an old rusty, rotted race car, he takes on the challenge with pride. His tinkering transforms it into a magical, flying and floating vehicle, capturing the attention of both the lovely Truly Scrumptious and the greedy Baron and Baroness Bomburst. Wanting the car for themselves, the Bombursts capture Grandpa Potts and the family sets out on a rescue mission with Chitty as their chariot to save the day. The delightful musical soars to new heights on stage with classics including “Toot Sweets,” “Hushabye Mountain,” and of course, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”
