Casting Call for Boys and Girls for "Pete The Cat" Play
"Pete The Cat" Play auditions are open for young performers ages 8 and up. Please see the details below. About the project: For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up. So the minute the groovy blue cat meets The Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking. That is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth. But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, it turns out Pete is the perfect pal to help him out. Together, they set out on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second-grade art, and along the way, they both learn a little something new about inspiration. Join Jimmy and Pete on an adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus! 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 are from the show and can be found below. 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 December 7 @ 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 2 – 3 days a week at the Erie Playhouse Rehearsal Hall starting in January. Rehearsals will typically take place from 4:30 – 6:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. 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 February 23. 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! Performances March 7 – 16 @ LECOM Stage at the Playhouse (including school time matinee performances at 10 am and 12:15 pm on March 12 & 13, and one 10 AM performance on March 14). Please download the attachment for audition details and material. If interested, please apply.
