"Elephant & Piggie's We Are In A Play!" is looking for teenagers. Please see the details below.

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.

About the project:
Ripped from the pages of Mo Willems' beloved, award-winning, best-selling children's books, Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure that is perfect for young audiences. Gerald and Piggie are best, best, "best" (a word Gerald and Piggie made up that means "very best") friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She's even happier and more excited than usual. That's because she and Gerald are invited to a party hosted by the Squirrels, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible.

Looking for ages 17+ for the "Romeo and Juliet" Play. Please see the details below.

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.

About the project:
In this powerful new version of Romeo and Juliet, adapted by Jay Geller and Ted Hazelgrove, the genders are reversed! An age-old vendetta between two powerful families erupts into bloodshed. A group of masked Montagues risks further conflict by gatecrashing a Capulet party. Young lovesick Juliet Montague falls instantly in love with Romeo Capulet (who is due to marry his mother’s choice, Countess Paris). With the help of Romeo’s nurse, the couple arranges to marry the next day, but Juliet’s attempt to halt a street fight leads to the death of Romeo’s own cousin, Tybalt, for which Juliet is banished. In a desperate attempt to be reunited with Juliet, Romeo follows the Friar’s plot and fakes his own death. The message fails to reach Juliet, and believing Romeo dead, she takes her life in his tomb. Romeo wakes to find Juliet’s corpse beside him and kills himself. The grieving families agree to end their feud.

Additional info:
Please prepare a two-minute Shakespearean monologue.
Callbacks will be held on Thursday, December 15. At callbacks, actors will read from the script. Rehearsals will begin on Wednesday, January 18, and will be held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6-9 p.m. Performances will be on March 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, and 19.

Looking for a Boy for "A Raisin in the Sun" Play

Seeking performers ages 14+  for "Lunch Money", a one-act comedy. Please see the details below.

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.

About the project:
When Mikey McDougald’s lunch money is stolen from his locker, no one, especially not Judge Cynthia Chemise, would think of accusing good-looking Harlan Parmenter of ever doing such a thing. Although, of course, he did. But the mock classroom trial adds humor and insight into the workings of the teenage mind and the struggles between the popular and the not-so-popular and the downright abused and bullied kids at school. Exasperated Suzanne, representing Mikey, does her best to maintain defense etiquette against a pushy defense attorney, Brandon, who harasses and intimidates his witnesses. The Bailiff has their hands full trying to keep Cynthia focused on the procedure as her main interest remains flirting with the accused. But when Cynthia hands down an absurd sentence and dismisses the jury, Mikey finally gets his day in court. This fast-paced comedy works equally well with High School or Middle School teens with important lessons in tolerance beneath the fun.

When applying, please submit a video of you performing a 1-2 minute comedic monologue!

If interested, please apply.

Vocal range G4-A2 He's nebbish and dorky. Not a classic leading man but is still our insecure, naive, put-upon, florist's clerk hero. Above all, he's a sweet and well-meaning gentleman. Not the silly, prat-falling, Jerry Lewis type. He should be real and not go for cheap laughs.

Seymour

Vocal range D5-G#3 She's a typical bleach-blonde type. She's sexy and smart but growing up on Skid Row she has developed no self-worth and looks for love in all the wrong guys. She shouldn't sound dumb but very timid and naive about what she needs.

AUDREY

Vocal range F4-G2 A typical older lower-middle-class New Yorker. Could have an accent in the vein of a New York Jewish man. He's fairly fed up with his failed life but is also not motivated to change. He seldom smiles but often sweats.

MR. MUSHNIK

Vocal range G4-G2 A handsome dentist with a heart as black as his leather jacket. He is NOT, however, a leftover extra from Grease. An egotistical pretty boy with sadistic tendencies.

ORIN SCIVELLO

Vocal range G4-G2 Large and in Charge! Audrey II is a blood-thirsty Alien with world domination on its agenda. Today is sharp-witted, quick-tempered, and musically inclined. Their personality is a mix of street-smart, funky, and manipulative villains.

AUDREY II

Vocal range F5-Ab3. A street urchin who functions as a Greek Chorus of sorts. She's young, hip, smart and the only one that knows what is happening.

The lead singer of a band. Handsome and charismatic. A truly 'nice' guy that has the classic lead singer aura and personality. Also a bit of a dreamer. In love with love until Linda leaves him at the altar and breaks his heart.

Robbie Hart

The bass player in the wedding band and one of Robbie's best friends. A total guy's guy, but beneath his pretending to love being a bachelor he is actually in love with Holly.

Sammy

The wedding band's keyboardist and one of Robbie's best friends. They are sensitive and somewhat flamboyant. The foil to Sammy's super guy attitude.

George

Waitress. The pretty "girl next door" in looks and personality. Engaged to Glen but falls in love with Robbie and is conflicted as to who to choose. Empathetic, caring, and brave.
