Last week, cast members of the NAEC musical “Crazy for You,” took to the stage again to perform in the Limestone Learning Foundation’s “The Audition.”  “The Audition” is story that revolves around several youth who are getting ready to audition for a play.  Each student tells a story that alludes to a scene in one of many Limestone District School Board school plays, both elementary and secondary; at which point the song or dance in conversation is then enacted by the school that performed it, last year.  NAEC performed their musical chorus line number “I can’t be bothered now.”  There were 600 people involved in the production and “The Audition” played three shows to a full house.  North Addington was the only northern school in the show.  “It was amazing being on that big stage,” said Brandon, who played the lead, Bobby Childs, “it was definitely an experience.”
