Children Theatre Casting for "The Thirty-Three Little Pigs" Play
Performers in grades 1-8 are welcome to audition for "The Thirty-Three Little Pigs" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Young players will get a chance to really ham it up in this fantastic new twist on an old tale! Top-selling playwright Brian D. Taylor brings together all the elements you love — a cast that’s hugely flexible in both size and male/female balance, 20 rapid-fire two- to three-minute scenes that each have one to six actors, a chance for every actor to have their moment in the spotlight, and an eclectic collection of styles that reveals each pig’s unique personality. In this hilarious and fast-paced predator-vs-prey send-up, your audience will squeal with delight as the 33 pigs in the meadow continuously outsmart the hungry wolf, much in the style of Roadrunner and Coyote or Tom and Jerry. From Straw, Stick, and Brick pigs to Pirate, Chef, and Ninja pigs (plus 27 endearing others!), they each have their chance to misdirect, heckle, and hound the bumbling Big Bad Wolf, who only finds himself further and further from getting his fill of little piggies! Full of classic, pop-culture, and world-inspired piggie characters and references, actors and audiences alike will go hog-wild for this show! Additional info: Auditions will consist of reading from the script. Rehearsals: Tuesday's & Thursday's 5:30-6:30 & Select Wednesday's (TBD) Performances: Friday, September 19th, 7PM Saturday, September 20th, 2PM If interested, please apply.
