Bennington, VT, United States
ID: 581072Exp: 2/15/2025
Description:

Seeking child actors for the production of “South Pacific”. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Set against the dramatic background of an idyllic South Pacific island during WWII, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific intertwines the themes of romance, duty, and prejudice to create a story that is all at once hilarious, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking. Based on the anecdotes of a real-life U.S. Navy commander who was stationed on an island, the musical follows two intercultural love stories: Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with Emile, a French plantation owner on the island who has two children from his late Polynesian wife; at the same time, U.S. Lieutenant Cable falls for a beautiful island native named Liat. Both Americans find themselves struggling to reconcile their own cultural prejudices with their amorous feelings, all the while under the dark cloud of a war that is coming ever closer to their island paradise. Additional info: Rehearsals begin: March 10 (will work around actors’ schedule). If you are interested, please apply.
