Singers/Actors Sought for "Treasure Island" Musical Show

Santa Barbara, CA, United States
ID: 252251Exp: 12/4/2023
Description:

The company is holding auditions for "Treasure Island" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Bryony Lavery’s stage adaptation of Treasure Island follows young Jim Hawkins – as a girl – as she discovers a treasure map and starts on a journey to Treasure Island. It’s a dark and stormy night, and the arrival of a staggering pirate brings danger, excitement, and adventure. As the door opens for this new arrival, a large sea chest, full of possibilities, lies at his feet. As Jim cares for the ailing pirate, a furtive investigation reveals secrets that begin a dangerous voyage. Jim fights for the right to join the adventure, she sails the high seas, is befriended and betrayed by pirates, discovers an abandoned castaway and unlocks the secrets of the caves under the swamp of Treasure Island. Additional info: Rehearsals are organized around actor conflicts as much as possible. Typically rehearsals are held in the evenings and weekends, 15-20 hours per week with actors called and released as needed. As this is an ensemble reliant show, all actors will be called to most rehearsals. Please choose and prepare the sides from your character of choice. A reader will be available at the auditions to read the other characters in your side. If time permits you may be asked to read another character, so you are encouraged to be familiar with all of the sides. In addition to your scene please be prepared to sing the song “Drunken Sailor” (can be seen on YouTube for song reference, Drunken Sailor – Irish Rovers) as the character you are auditioning for. In addition to “Drunken Sailor”, the Director will accept any other song you like as long as it is in the style of one of the pirates listed below. Please apply if interested.
