Kid Performers Needed for "Tuck Everlasting" Show
Searching for performers ages 8-18 years old for "Tuck Everlasting". Please see the details below. About the project: “If you could live forever, would you?” Based on the best-selling, award-winning novel by Natalie Babbitt, this Theatre for Young Audiences version of TUCK EVERLASTING will be brought to life with world-class artistry and powerful storytelling in a sweeping production. Take a journey you’ll never forget in this daring new musical about love, family and living life to the fullest. Additional info: Auditions will consist of a monologue, song, and dance portion. You will learn the dance at auditions but should have your monologue and song learned and memorized before auditions. Monologues and songs for auditions from the show are attached. Please choose only one monologue and one song from the options to perform! There will be an optional (but encouraged!) audition workshop held at the rehearsal hall on August 17 @ 10:30 AM where you can learn the audition dance ahead of time, be able to practice your songs with an accompanist and work your monologues in groups. This workshop is designed to alleviate some of the stress that goes with auditioning and also to ensure that anyone who wishes will have the resources to feel prepared for their audition. Rehearsal will take place 3 – 4 days a week at the Erie Playhouse Rehearsal Hall. Rehearsals will typically take place from 4:30 – 6:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and 2 – 4 on Saturdays. Not every actor will be called to every rehearsal, but if you are called to a rehearsal attendance is mandatory! The show will move to the Erie Playhouse Stage the week of November 3rd. Attendance is required at all rehearsals and performances after this date. Please be sure to have any known conflicts with the anticipated rehearsal period for this show ready to provide on your audition form when you arrive! The audition form is attached. If interested, please apply.
