Wichita, KS, United States
ID: 579455Exp: 1/12/2025
Description:

Teen auditions open for the theater production of "Book of Days." Please find the details below. Additional info: Most of these will be pretty standard characters. But director are looking for archetypes not stereotypes. Archetypes are realistic but recognizable people (the wealthy, influential landowner, the staid, opinionated Christian wife) while stereotypes are exaggerated versions of the same people, played for comedy or insult (Boss Hogg or The Church Lady). Please stay away from stereotypes! If you are interested please apply.
