A Company of Friends Theatrical Productions invite young and old to join them for auditions of the Georgia premiere of “Madagascar, A Musical Adventure.”

All ages from 6 years through mature adults are needed to bring this colorful and humorous new musical to the stage. A cast of more than 25 is needed to stage this popular story.
