Casting Call for Boys and Girls for "A Midsummer Night's Rock"

Kids ages 4-18 years old are needed for "A Midsummer Night's Rock". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: When a bunch of mismatched kids are stuck together in a Shakespeare Class in summer, a music competition leads them on an unforgettable adventure that brings Shakespeare characters to life to mirror their modern-day counterparts. Additional info: Rehearsals: To prepare, directors simply ask each child to sing. It can be absolutely any song, with a maximum of 1:30 (one minute, thirty seconds.) Kids can sing with a backtrack, or sing a cappella (without accompaniment.) If you plan to use a backtrack, please have it ready to play on a device (such as the parent's phone) Audition material is attached. Kids may be asked to read a short piece from the script (non-readers can "echo back" lines), but this is not necessary to prepare ahead of time. Directors do have quite a few non-singing roles, so kids who are more interested in acting than singing are very welcome! REQUIRED: All Cast Members age 7+ have a required group rehearsal on every Friday, 2:30-4:00, except July 4. (If a performer cannot attend this Group Rehearsal but still wants to participate, please talk to us - we might be able to work something out.) Rising Stars (age 4-6) will rehearse Fridays, 1:30-2:15 only, until the week before production. Additional Rehearsal Times for Featured Roles: Performers age 7+ can choose to only participate in group numbers (with the required rehearsal Fridays 2:30-4:00) OR they can audition for a featured role, which will require one additional weekly rehearsal timeslot during one of the following times: Thurs 3:30-5:00, Thurs 5:00-6:30, or Fridays 12:30-1:30.
