"Turn Of The Screw" & "Ragtime" Shows Needs Kids

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Kids needed for Theatre Play "Mockingbird". Please see the details below.

About the project:
Caitlin is an 11-year-old on the autism spectrum. Not all things make sense to her. Emotions are mysterious and voices are almost always too loud. Suddenly, she must grapple with the unthinkable. A mass shooting has taken her brother away. He was the one person who helped her cope. Now she is alone with her grieving father and a cacophony of children at school. She struggles with empathy, what facial expressions mean, and why a drawing might have more than one color. 

Additional info:
The show will run on June 29th, June 30th at 7:00 pm, and July 1st at 2:00 pm. Performance space to be announced.
Rehearsals will be: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6:00-9:00 pm and June 24th-July 1st (rehersal times TBA) 

If you are interested, please see the attachment and apply.

"Father Of The Bride" Show Looking for Boys

Looking for children who are at least 6 years old to audition for "Into The Woods" Play. Please see the details below.

About the project:
“Be careful what you wish for” seems to be the ongoing theme in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Brothers Grimm-inspired musical, Into the Woods. The story follows The Baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to go to the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give some milk. When the Baker and his wife are visited by the Witch from next door, who reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family, the two set off on a journey “into the woods'' to reverse the curse. There, we meet Little Red Riding Hood, on her way to visit her grandmother, the Wolf who loves tasty little girls, the Witch’s daughter Rapunzel, and two lovelorn Princes. By the end, everyone has gotten their wish and will seemingly live happily ever after.

Additional info:
Sing 16 measures of an upbeat show tune. Provide your own sheet music. An accompanist will be available. No Acapella Auditions. A dance combination will be taught. Some may be asked to stay for the same-day callbacks.
For those just wanting to be an ensemble member there will be group auditions and a dance combination taught. No prepared songs for this group. Some may be asked to stay for the same-day callbacks.

If interested, please apply.

The narrator is the storyteller who speaks directly to the audience. This character helps control the pacing of the show and always needs to be ready for their next entrance, as they pop in and out throughout the story. Find a charismatic girl or boy with great diction for this large speaking role with minimal singing.

Vocal range bottom: Bb3

Narrator

Jack is an energetic young man who is always looking for adventure. He begins this show as a simple little boy (his best friend is a cow), but by the end of the show, he learns a few valuable lessons. You will want to cast an excellent singer and actor who can show great range in this demanding role.
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: A3

Jack

Raising a son and running a farm all by herself has made Jack's Mother a bit frazzled and most definitely overworked. Jack's Mother is a great role for a character actress with solid comic timing and good singing skills. 
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: Bb3

Jack's Mother

The Baker is a good-hearted, likable person who believes he can take on the Witch s curse all by himself. At first, this confidence and his desire to have a child drives him, but he soon learns he needs his wife's help to accomplish the goal. Cast an excellent actor and singer who is both personable and capable or portraying the Baker's strength of conviction.

Baker

The Baker's Wife is a strong, determined, and loving woman whose desire to have a child drives the action of the whole show. Her storyline helps tie all the character's storylines together. Cast one of your strongest female performers in this role as it requires both excellent singing and acting as well as a good sense of comedic timing.
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: A3

Baker's Wife

Little Red starts the show as a loud, bratty, pushy, glutton who happily manipulates people and situations to get her way. Eventually, she learns some valuable lessons and softens around the edges. The actress you cast should have a loud, powerful voice and be a good actor. Ideally, your Little Red will have a strong sense of musicality (her songs are often rhythmically challenging).
Vocal range top: Eb5
Vocal range bottom: Bb3

Little Red Ridinghood

The Witch is an ancient, mysterious, and manipulative woman who will do anything possible to regain her beauty and protect Rapunzel. While she may seem old and haggard, she still has the strength to control other people. This role is perfect for a good character actress and singer who can physically and vocally portray the complexities of the role.
Vocal range top: C5
Vocal range bottom: C4

Witch

Cinderella's Stepsisters are spoiled brats who care only about themselves and marry Cinderella's Prince. Cast two actresses who work well together and are able to portray their cattiness in a bold and comical way.
Vocal range top: G4
Vocal range bottom: C4

Florinda

Lucinda

Just like the name suggests, this is one mysterious man. Everything he does is to help the Baker, but he does not explain his motives until the last moment. Cast an engaging character actor who can speak the Mysterious Man s often puzzling lines clearly in this non-singing role.

Mysterious Man

The Wolf is a sly and dangerous character intently focused on attacking Little Red Riding Hood. Cast an actor and singer who can physically and vocally bring the Wolf to life. Also, keep your wolf on two feet: don't have the actor try to walk on his hands and knees.
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: Bb3

Wolf

Granny is a feisty woman who is not afraid to fight the Wolf face to face. This non-singing role is perfect for a young performer able to make strong character choices.

Granny

The Steward is the servant of Cinderella's Prince. He is dependable and willing to do whatever Cinderella's Prince asks. This smaller featured role is perfect for a performer new to the stage.

Steward

Milky-White is Jack's cow. You could use a cardboard or plaster cow for this role, but it can be a lot of fun to cast a child as Milky White. If you do cast a child in this role, look for a focused performer with an expressive face.

Milky-White

Cinderella's Father will not win any Father-of-the-Year awards. He doesn't care about his daughter's well-being or her actions. This non-singing role is perfect for a new performer just learning to be comfortable onstage.

Cinderella's Father

Cinderella's Prince is a conceited man who adamantly pursues Cinderella and can't take no for an answer. When not chasing her, he is trying to show up Rapunzel's Prince. This role requires a good singer and actor who can portray arrogance while still being likable.
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: B3

Cinderella's Prince

Cinderella's Mother comforts Cinderella in her one short song. She has no dialogue, so cast a singer with a strong, pleasant voice for this role.
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: D4

Cinderella's Mother

Rapunzel's Prince is the pompous and arrogant brother of Cinderella's Prince. Sibling rivalry runs rampant between the brothers, including each brother's belief that his lady love is the most beautiful. Cast a talented singer who can portray confidence both physically and vocally.
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: B3

Rapunzel's Prince

Cinderella's Stepmother is a mean, evil woman who only cares about her birth children, daughters Florinda and Lucinda. She has only a few singing lines, so look mainly for an actress who can portray both the strong distaste the character has for Cinderella as well as the love she showers on her own spoiled daughters.

Cinderella's Stepmother

Cinderella is a simple peasant girl whose one wish is to go to the Festival. Unfortunately, when her wish comes true she learns that wishes sometimes come with consequences. Cinderella s inner beauty always shines through her sometimes clumsy and awkward exterior. Cast a great singer and actor who is charming while maintaining a sense of humor.
Vocal range top: G5
Vocal range bottom: A3

Cinderella

Rapunzel has been stuck in a tower for the majority of her life. Finally, she stands up to the Witch in order to get out to see the world. This role doesn't have a great deal of dialogue, but you will want to cast an excellent soprano singer.
Vocal range top: F#5
