Children Theatre Casting Call for "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"

Looking for performers ages 8 and up for "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: On a crisp autumn morning, the folks of Sleepy Hollow are buzzing with anticipation for their new schoolmaster’s arrival. Ichabod Crane makes quite the entrance with his priggish correctness and strict ways, putting a damper on the town’s fun-loving and mischievous spirit. His genteel manners and enthusiastic hymn singing eventually impress the ladies, including Katrina Van Tassel, the town belle. The men, though, are less enthused, especially Katrina’s suitor, Brom Bones, who is eager to rid himself of this unwelcome rival. Matters come to a head during the Van Tassel’s Halloween party, after which the superstitious Ichabod is accosted on his lonely ride home by a fiendish apparition, the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. The next morning Ichabod has disappeared, leaving behind only a song in the wind as a new legend is born. Additional info: Nothing needs to be prepared in advance. Directors will ask about your past experience and have group readings for different roles. There may be some waiting, so feel free to bring something to pass the time quietly. Note: Auditioning is free. For the selected cast, there’s a participation fee applied per person. This helps cover the show’s budget for props, sets, costumes, and more. Actors should be available to perform in all six shows. Any exceptions will need to be approved at auditions. Rehearsals will usually be scheduled on weekday evenings and weekends. On the audition form, you will be asked to list any dates and times that you will not be available for rehearsal. Most actors will be asked to attend rehearsals for approximately 2 hours, 3 or 4 days per week. If interested, please apply.
