OGDENSBURG -- St. John’s Conservatory Theater, now in its fourth season, is seeking talent for their original musical “Orchard Of Hide & Seek,” which will open at the newly renovated all-digital OFA Auditorium this June for a two-week run.

Auditions will be held Saturday, April 29, at 6 p.m. at the St. John’s Parish House on the corner of Knox and Franklin streets. Please arrive 15 minutes early to sign in and prepare a song of your choice to be sung acapella. There are roles for all ages and a variety of talents. Think “Wizard of Oz” meets “Peter Pan” Tim Burton-style and acrobats, jugglers, and other variety artists are encouraged to tryout.

“The Orchard Of Hide & Seek,” with a book, music and lyrics by award-winning writer Richard O’Donnell, is a family-friendly comedy about Queen Onagh and her eclectic tribe of fairies and pixies that inhabit the ominous apple orchard on Peekaboo Island high atop a cliff overlooking the St. Labyrinth Sea.

As they prepare for their spectacular Mid-Summers Eve celebration, the children from the nearby village of Onwee are also treasure hunting. However, trouble ensues as Capt. Jean-Pierre Beunet, his malevolent pirates, and Ophelia, Delia and Vermilia, the evil Witches of Hubba Bubba, plot to take over the entire orchard for themselves.

Tickets go on sale in mid-May and will be available electronically at brownpapertickets.com (under St. John’s Conservatory Theater) or at the door the night of the performances.
