"Gruff: An Epic Fairytale Eco-Musical" Seeks Talent
Looking for performers for "Gruff: An Epic Fairytale Eco-Musical". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: The goats are about to run out of food in the toxic wasteland they call home. Gruff, a young goat, sets out with her siblings on a mission to find a flower, which they’ve never seen before. Gruff discovers the hidden and magical Troll Valley, the only place left on Earth where natural plant growth is treasured and protected. But when the Goat Elders find out that plants (and trolls!) still exist, they set out to take the resources for themselves. Can Trolls and Goats overcome their differences to work together and save the planet before it’s too late? Hilarity ensues in this contemporary retelling of a classic children’s story, filled with catchy music, knee-slapping jokes, and a journey you won’t forget. Rate: Actors are paid for rehearsal and performance time. This is a part-time, temporary position. $15/hour. Additional info: Auditions will consist of reading sides from the play, learning dance as a group, and singing approximately one minute of a song of your choice. Directors recommend wearing clothes you feel comfortable moving in! Rehearsals are typically on weekdays from 6-8 pm or 9 pm. Performances generally are Wednesday through Sunday, with two shows scheduled on most weekend days. Performances run April 14 - May 14, 2023. If interested, please apply.
