Halloween Playfest Auditions at the West Windsor Branch of the MCLS

West Windsor — The Youth Services Department of the West Windsor Branch of the Mercer County Library System will be holding open auditions for teens ages 11-18 for three original plays written by librarian Michael Kerr for our 2026 Halloween Playfest: "Dirty Trix;" "Mister DethBox;" and "Wandering Spirits." The auditions will take place on Wednesdays July 29th and August 5th from 6-8 pm and Saturdays August 1st and August 8th from 2-4 pm. Auditions will consist of readings from the scripts. Scripts will be available for inspection at the reference desk, or can be sent by e-mail. Online registration at https://mcl.org for auditions is recommended, but walk-ins are also welcome. Auditions will take place at the West Windsor Branch, 333 North Post Rd., Princeton Junction. Rehearsals will begin in early September. The performances will take place from October 16th to 18th. We also welcome help with makeup, costumes, and set construction. Contact West Windsor Branch Youth Services Staff at 609-799-0462 or westprogs@mcl.org for more information.
