CCT of DeKalb County, a nonprofit community theater organization based in DeKalb, announces open auditions for the first two productions of its 2013 season of musicals.

Auditions for CCT’s Stage Right Theatre production of “Rent” will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Oct. 15 and 16 at the First United Methodist Church, 321 Oak St. in DeKalb. Those auditioning are required to be at least 15 years old on the date of audition.

“The story and the music of ‘Rent’ present challenges that we welcome artistically and educationally in this production,” director Kris Pagoria said in a news release. “Our Stage Right offering was designed to challenge older thespians with shows of a more mature content. We firmly believe that ‘Rent’ creates that opportunity.”
