Kid Actors Needed for "The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood"
Kids ages 8-18 years old are invited to audition for "The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: It sure is hard to be humble when you're a swashbuckling, egocentric super-hero. But our gallant guy-in-green tries his best as he swaggers through The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood, a frantically funny, Monty Pythonesque retelling of the classic. This time around, the legendary legend, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bull's-eye; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured "Town's Guy" who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you've got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won't soon forget! Additional info: No experience is necessary; all levels of experience are welcome. Actors do not need to prepare anything for the audition ahead of time, but if you wish to read through them, the audition sides (short selections from the script) that will be used during the auditions are attached. Rehearsals will take place from March 17 through May 1 on weekdays from 4:30 PM to 6:00 or 6:30 PM. Performances will be on May 2, 3, and 4 in the VK Garage Theater. Note that the participation fee will be applied. Please download the audition packet attached for audition details. If interested, please apply.
