Children Theatre Casting for "The True Adventures of Pinocchio"

Performers aged 8 and above are invited to audition for "The True Adventures of Pinocchio". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: A troupe of actors, escaping through the mountains from a civil war are caught in a violent winter storm and seek shelter in an abandoned puppet theatre. The eccentric old puppeteer who lives in the theatre gives the acting troupe refuge overnight. During the night, while the adults are asleep, he tells the two restless children the story of Pinocchio. When one of the children asks: “Is it a true story?” the old man replies: “It’s more than true, it’s real. I mean, when I tell it—it happens.” Thus begins the well-known tale of the wooden boy who must learn some hard lessons before he can become real. Additional info: Auditions consist of cold readings from the script. Rehearsals are set to begin Monday, April 29, and will be Mondays thru Thursdays with the possibility of a Friday and Saturday rehearsal as the opening gets closer. The schedule will be solidified once casting is complete / after the table is read. PERFORMANCES: June 7 – 16, 2024 Thursdays-Saturdays at 8 pm, Sundays at 4 pm All performances at EPIC Bible College. If interested, please apply.
