Casting Teen Performers for "Shakespeare Goes to Gravel Gulch"

Performers ages 16 and up are invited to audition for "Shakespeare Goes to Gravel Gulch" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: Ah, Shakespeare in the... Old West?! The lovely Sunny Day arrives in the small mining town of Gravel Gulch with a troupe of actors determined to bring culture to the locals. Unfortunately, the troupe of actors, headed by the conceited and shady Noble Hart, is enough to make a playwright cry. Sunny Day falls for Texas Ranger Johnny Lasso, who’s hot on the trail of a notorious crook masquerading under the name of Gentleman Dan, whose true identity is unknown. It’s almost as if he was a master of disguise, like... an actor, perhaps? Maybe the show isn’t all that Noble Heart and his cohort, the Duchess, are trying to steal! The troupe’s arrival thrills the townspeople, except Abagail Pettigrew, the richest person in town. She’s harboring a dark secret about her former occupation as Pogo, the Woman Who Can Walk Up and Down Stairs on Her Head. With more would-be outlaws, some stranded performing artists training to be window mannequins and a surprise ending, your audiences will be cheering, booing, and holding their sides with laughter in this wild theatrical bonanza! Additional info: WHAT TO PREPARE FOR AUDITIONS: Please bring a one minute comedic monologue to show off your comedic acting. This is a melodrama so I am looking for people who are willing to go over the top and make huge choices!! Do not be afraid to hold back. And as always have fun! You will also be asked to read a short excerpt from the script following your monologue to get a feel for the different characters. There is no need to prepare anything for that portion; the script and excerpt will be provided. Please complete the audition form attached and bring a list of conflicts you might have between Dec. 1st and February 9th. You must be available for all show dates. A draft of the rehearsal calendar will be available for you to view at auditions. If interested, please apply.
