Seeking Teenagers for "All is Calm: The Christmas Truce"
Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914. Looking for actors of all ages (15+). Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Peter Rothstein created All Is Calm after he, as an adult, found out about the Christmas Truce and wondered why he’d never been taught about it. He says, “The heroes of this story are the lowest of the ranks — the young, the hungry, the cold, and the optimistic — those who acted with great courage to put down their guns, overcoming a fear that placed a gun in their hands in the first place. Their story puts a human face on war, and that’s the story I hope to tell.” The music includes popular songs of the era, folk tunes, and carols, arranged by Erick Lichte, one of the founders of the vocal ensemble Cantus, and Timothy C. Takach. The dialog is all from diaries, letters, and memoirs of the men who were there. Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold reads and singing. Please read the audition packet for more information, including character vocal ranges and the audition sides you will be reading If interested, please apply.
