"Tuck Everlasting" Musical Searching For Kids
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking kids for "Tuck Everlasting" musical. See the details below. About the project: In turn-of-the-century Treegap, New Hampshire, 11-year-old Winnie Foster longs for freedom beyond her strict home. When she meets the mysterious, ageless Tuck family—who once drank from a secret spring—Winnie is drawn into their world and hunted by a carnival huckster who wants to exploit the spring. Over one extraordinary week she learns about love, loss, and the “wheel” of life, and must choose between eternal youth and a mortal life fully lived. The show blends folk-inflected Broadway tunes with a wordless ballet that traces Winnie’s life to its natural end. At its heart, Tuck Everlasting is a story about love, loss, and the beauty of living life fully. Additional info: Thursday, Dec. 18, 7:00 pm (callbacks) Prepare 32 measures of music.

4 roles
Stated character age is 11; soprano A3–E5. A bright, restless only child constrained by grief and overprotection, Winnie bolts for adventure and finds moral courage when the Tucks’ secret is threatened; needs honest acting, comic timing, and stamina to anchor the show.
Stated character age is 17; tenor F3–C5. Eternal seventeen—mercurial, charming, and a little lonely—Jesse coaxes Winnie toward possibility and tempts her with the spring’s promise; requires youthful tenor with secure mix for “Top of the World/Seventeen.”
To play mid-teens–20; tenor G3–C5. An eager deputy in training who crushes on Winnie and idolizes Joe; energetic mover with bright mix for “Hugo’s First Case.”
The cast requires a strong ensemble of Fairgoers and Townsfolk. Strong movers preferred.
