Casting Call for Children for "The Polar Express Train Ride"

Looking for ages 16 and up for "The Polar Express Train Ride". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: "The Polar Express" is a magical re-creation of the classic children’s story. Following the original book and movie, you will be immersed in the Polar Express story. When you arrive at the Museum, you enter the Lenfestey Center. Before the show, you are welcome to stroll among the decorated trees in the Festival of Trees, explore the full-size trains, or play Reindeer Games. The show begins with the Hot Chocolate Dance, after which we all sip a cup of hot chocolate. Next, we listen to a dramatic reading of the original Polar Express book. The conductor then calls “All Aboard,” inviting guests outside to ride The Polar Express to the North Pole. Onboard a real, moving train, our adventure continues as you interact with the characters from the story. This is not a train ride where you will see holiday decorations every inch of the way – instead, we will travel through cold, dark forests, encounter a hobo, view the Northern Lights, and see polar bears in the Arctic Circle. Santa will visit with some of the passengers onboard the train. Additional info: This 45-minute live production takes place aboard the Museum’s slow-moving train. There are 5 train cars per performance, and 4 cast members are needed on each train car. "The Polar Express Train Ride" on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from November 22 through December 15, 2024. The Polar Express has become a time-honored holiday tradition for people throughout Wisconsin and beyond. For the audition script, please download the attachment. If interested, please apply.
