Young Actors for "The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood" Play
Auditions for the summer youth production "The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood". Looking for actors. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: It sure is hard to be humble when you're a swashbuckling, egocentric super-hero. But our gallant guy-in-green tries his best as he swaggers through THE SOMEWHAT TRUE TALE OF ROBIN HOOD, a frantically funny, Monty Python-esque retelling of the classic. This time around, the legendary legend, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bull's-eye; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured "Town's Guy" who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you've got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won't soon forget! Additional info: Cast size: 8 males, 6 females. Cast may be reduced to 10 or expanded to 25 or more. HOW TO PREPARE: Please come to auditions prepared to move. All actors will read from the script.
