AUDITION INFORMATION
Please plan on attending just one of the initial audition times but plan on staying for all or most of the audition period – we will likely have you up and down on stage more than once.
Please RSVP to providenceplayers@cox.net and let us know all of the initial audition dates you could attend and which, if any, you prefer. We appreciate flexibility!
AUDITION PROCESS: Auditions will consist of readings from the script – No monologue required. We recommend that auditioners have a familiarity with the story – the book is short and wonderful, so you may wish to read it before auditioning.
AUDITION SIDES: Sides for the audition process will be supplied each evening.
AUDITION FORM: Resumes and headshots will be accepted, but are not required. Each auditioner will be asked to fill out a form for consideration.
MEMBERSHIP: The Providence Players of Fairfax is a membership organization. Membership is not required to audition. If cast, actors in addition to production team members will be asked to become members of the Providence Players ($10) for the season (if they are not already).
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION: With the exception of the four children, the other characters can be played by men or women. The director has a strong preference for building a multicultural cast (African American, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, Indian/Middle Eastern). We are looking for strong ensemble players, who can be creative and play characters that imply an animal or fantasy creature. Having a dancing background is a plus, as stylized movement will be required for all parts.
