Teen Performers Needed for "The Hobbit" Show

Looking for ages 12 and up for "The Hobbit" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: It's unusual for a modern work to become a classic so quickly, but Tolkien's "ring" stories, which began with The Hobbit, clearly are in this very special category. They stir the imagination and intellect of everyone they touch. Bilbo, one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, is asked to leave his large, roomy and very dry home in the ground in order to set off as chief robber in an attempt to recover an important treasure. It's the last thing that any sensitive Hobbit would want to do, but great benefit eventually results - not only for Bilbo but for all of the Hobbits who inhabit Middle Earth - and the hearts of those children and adults who continue to enjoy this kind of magic. Additional info: Please prepare a one-minute monologue of your choosing. Sides will also be available. If you play an instrument, please prepare a short piece (one minute or less). All rehearsals and performances will be held at the Elizabeth Seton Center, 1900 Pioneer Ave, Pittsburgh (Brookline), PA 15226. Rehearsals will typically be held on weekday evenings and weekends; schedule TBD. PERFORMANCES: August 7-8 & 14-15 at 7:30PM August 9 & 16 at 2:30PM If interested, please apply.
