Casting Teen Performers for "Pride and Prejudice" Play
Teen girls are invited to audition for "Pride and Prejudice" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: This production of Pride and Prejudice while keeping faithful to the novel, moves at a brisk pace and for most of the characters leans toward a broader comic approach. The auditions will consist of readings from the play. A familiarity with the novel would be helpful but not necessary. If you have a classic monologue of one to two minutes, you may share. The play is wordy and witty. The actors must be able to move through it quickly and clearly. Additional info: Auditioners will be asked to read from the sides attached.

The fourth Bennet sister. (The forgotten one. ) A follower. A little ditzy. Lydia’s sidekick but not happy about it.
The youngest Bennet's sister. (A clueless flirt. Loud, pushy, a bit dim) Comic but unlikable. Her mother’s favorite. Spoiled. The actor doubles as Georgiana Darcy a quiet, gentle young woman. This role is non-speaking but important.
