Young Talent Wanted for Upcoming Singing Audition
Looking for teens in "The School for Lies", "Airness" and "The Trip to Bountiful" Shows. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: "The School for Lies" It's 1666 and the brightest, wittiest salon in Paris is that of Celimene, a beautiful young widow so known for her satiric tongue that she's being sued for it. Surrounded by shallow suitors, whom she lives off of without surrendering to, Celimene has managed to evade love since her beloved husband died - until today when Frank appears. THE SCHOOL FOR LIES, a wild farce of furious tempo and stunning verbal display, saucy, and deliciously off-color, written in very contemporary rhyming couplets by award-winning playwright David Ives, runs variations on Molière's Le Misanthrope, which inspired it. "Airness" When Nina enters her first air guitar competition, she thinks winning will be easy. But as she befriends a group of charismatic nerds all committed to becoming the next champion, she discovers that there's more to this art form than playing pretend; it's about finding yourself in your favorite songs, and performing with raw joy. Will Nina be able to let go and set herself free onstage? Following her mission to shred or be shredded, Fairness is an exuberant reminder that everything we need to rock is already inside us. A comedy about competition, completion, and finding the fairness inside yourself. "The Trip to Bountiful" This moving play tells the story of Carrie Watts, an elderly woman, who longs to escape the cramped Houston apartment where she lives with her protective son, Ludie, and her authoritarian daughter-in-law, Jessie Mae. Carrie wants to return to her beloved hometown of Bountiful, Texas, one final time before she dies. Carrie escapes to the bus station and befriends a young woman named Thelma. The new friends travel toward Bountiful together, but when Carrie arrives in nearby Harrison, Texas, she begins to learn that her beloved town isn't the same as she remembered it. Additional info: Prepare a monologue in under two minutes. Bring resume & headshot if available. Please see the attachment for details. If you are interested please apply.
