"So, There's a Leprechaun Now?" Show Needs Actors
The company is holding auditions for a world premiere play "So, There's a Leprechaun Now?" and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: When Hailey comes home from kindergarten and mentions that her teacher told the class there’s a magical Leprechaun who visits children every night leading up to St. Patrick’s Day – engaging in an elaborate series of pranks and antics along the way – her parents think it’s cute...until they realize they’re the ones who have to pull this shit off. When they reach out to Mrs. O’Leary for the details and learn she’s away on a cruise, an entire crew of parents is left scrambling, adlibbing and struggling to come up with a "Leprechaun narrative" that not only brings to life the St. Patrick’s Day fairytale that’s been thrust upon them, but also one that protects the Easter Bunny legend, the magic of Santa Claus and the innocence of childhood. Rate: All roles are available and unpaid. Additional info: Please come ready to do some fun group improvisations and read from the script. Headshots and resumes are preferred but not required. Performances will be March 14-17, 2024. Rehearsals will begin in February 2024. Audition will consist of cold reads from the script and group improvisations. All characters have some "adult" language. Actors should have the ability to embrace the ridiculous.
