Casting Call for Boys and Girls for "Jonah" Stage Play

Seeking boys and girls for the stage play "Jonah." See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: The biblical account of Jonah is retold with a fun look at faith in this amusing new musical. The reluctant prophet’s foolish attempts to outrun God lead to hilarious misadventures. But amidst the mirth and mayhem is a whale of a lesson pointing to God’s redemptive grace—and timely reminders for today. “Jonah!” is a world-premiere production at LifeHouse Theater by our founder and president, Wayne R. Scott. This musical is an operetta and almost entirely sung. Additional info: Prior experience is not necessary to audition, so those without a theatrical resume may indicate any performing experience such as church choirs, public speaking, etc. Auditioners should also bring their own sheet music in the preferred key, and be prepared to sing a short selection of about 16 measures. A pianist will be provided but will not be able to transpose any sheet music. Auditions with CDs will not be accepted. Those without sheet music will be asked to sing “Happy Birthday” with the accompanist. *For dramas, please prepare a dramatic monologue around one minute in length. The California production of “Jonah!” opens Saturday, August 30, 2025 at 7:00 PM and will continue on weekends through September 28, 2025. Performances are Fridays at 7:00 PM, Saturdays at 2:00 PM (except Opening Night) and 7:00 PM and Sundays at 2:00 PM.
