Seeking Teens for "The Predicament of Peril" Show
Seeking performers ages 15 and up for "The Predicament of Peril" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: Ron wants to buy Hermione a magical book, so he reluctantly sells his mum's pocket watch. He goes to the bookshop for the special book, but it's gone, so he buys her an antique hairpin instead. Hermione wants to buy Ron a magical book, so she sells her great-grandmother's antique hairpin. When she goes back for the special book, it is gone, so she buys Ron a pocket watch instead.. Harry shows up with a special book for both Ron and Hermione, who have spent the entire event in search of ingredients for a potion to make a magical box ensuring the holder receives exactly what they deserve. Upon gifting the item to Harry they find the box empty because Voldemort has stolen its contents (for him, a lump of coal). Harry's eyes fill with tears as they apologize profusely, but Harry explains that he is truly happy because of his friendship with them! Additional info: This holiday event takes place throughout the entire metropolitan area. Houses rotate throughout the venue, going from shopping on Diagon Ally, to classes, to the Escape Room of Requirement, to a feast in the Great Hall, among others! It will all end with a 30-minute floor show/mini musical. The characters will be stationed throughout the venue. There are a few scripted scenes, but mostly adlibbing until the actual floor show (The Predicament of Peril). A lot of the rehearsal time will be spent transforming the Met into a magical world, so many hands are needed! If you are auditioning for one of the speaking/singing roles, please come prepared to sing. Directors will provide backing tracks (to the best of the ability). Rehearsals: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays / 6-9 pm / Oct. 21-Nov. 20 If interested, please apply.
