IMPORTANT cancellation notice from Dreamworks regarding "Kung Fu Panda" auditions - http://www.pandaliveauditions.com

Italian-Belgian theatre director Franco Dragone, the world’s most spectacular show creator is casting for a ground breaking arena spectacular based on Dreamworks animated films, "Kung Fu Panda". Dragone is currently holding United States open call auditions for the "Kung Fu Panda International Touring Show" in association with DreamWorks Animation.

From the years 1985 to 1998 Franco Dragone would direct nearly all of Cirque du Soleil's most prestigious shows and played a significant role in developing Cirque du Soleil's distinctive merging of theater and circus performance. In the early 1990s Dragone's reputation grew with the production of "Nouvelle Expérience" and "Saltimbanco", nontraditional circus productions in which postmodern dance, music, and circus acrobatics were interlaced with a dreamlike narrative.
