Kid Actors Needed for "Shuddersome: Tales of Poe" Show
Looking for kids ages 9 and up for the "Shuddersome: Tales of Poe" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Just in time for the Halloween season, Youtheatre is digging up the original master of horror himself. For nearly 100 years, Edgar Allen Poe's tales of murder, madness, and the supernatural have delighted readers of all ages. Now, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Masque of the Red Death, The Raven, and more of his spine-tingling stories come to life in this vivid theatrical adaptation from the author of last season's The House. Audiences will be on the edge of their seats as Poe's words rise like corpses from the grave. So get your tickets and miss the spooky fun... NEVERMORE. Additional info: IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT REHEARSALS: Each of the 5 stories will feature a different director and cast. This will allow for a shortened rehearsal process. While the full pre-tech rehearsal process is 3 weeks long, NOT all stories will rehearse every day. Depending on cast & director schedules, a story may rehearse 2-3 days per week for 3 weeks, or it could rehearse every day for 2 weeks (taking the 3rd week off). Because of this shortened schedule and flexibility, we encourage even actors who don't always feel they have the time to commit to a production to audition.
