“The Hunchback of Notre Dame” Auditions

November 3-4, starting at 6:00pm, with callbacks November 8

Woods Church will present the musical “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” from March 28-30 and April 4-6, and auditions are just around the corner. What makes a monster and what makes a man? Step into the heart of Paris and experience the powerful tale of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”

This evocative musical, inspired by Victor Hugo's classic novel and the acclaimed Disney animated film, brings to life the story of love, acceptance and heroism set against the backdrop of the iconic Notre Dame cathedral. Join Woods Church as it follows Quasimodo, the gentle bell ringer of Notre Dame, and his journey to find acceptance and love in a world that shuns him. Alongside the courageous Esmeralda and the conflicted Claude Frollo, the story unfolds with themes of compassion, justice, the resilience of the human spirit and finding your sanctuary.
