Kid Actors Needed for "Storybook Court" Play
Performers between the ages of 8 and 18 for "Storybook Court" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: Jack Beans is on trial for theft, and it’s up to your audience to determine if he’s guilty or innocent! In this madcap courtroom comedy, Jack and his lawyer, Big Bad Wol,f go head to head with Mrs. Helga Giant and her lawyer, Red Riding Hood, on Storybook Court to determine if Jack is guilty of stealing the Giants’ gold, goose, and harp. With plenty of well-known characters as witnesses and members of the jury, it’s anyone’s guess as to how this trial will end. The Gingerbread Man could hardly sit still through the trial, and Grouchy was awfully... well... grouchy through the whole thing. But when juror member Sleeping Beauty falls sound asleep, it’s the audience that must vote to determine Jack’s fate! Your actors will love the challenge of learning two different endings. And who knows? With multiple performances, maybe your actors will get a chance to perform both! Additional info: REHEARSALS (M, TU & TH) 6 pm-8:15 pm June 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 9th, 10th, 12th ...
