Young Actors for Production of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"
Seeking actors for production of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the details below. About the project: Middle school, ugh. It’s the worst. But Greg is determined not to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. He’ll leave that to his weird neighbor, Fregley. Or maybe Greg’s best friend, Rowley Jefferson. But it’s not going to be Greg…no way. Jeff Kinney’s popular character takes center stage as Greg’s cartoon diary becomes a hilarious and heartfelt musical. Will Greg’s plans to become popular lead him to sacrifice his one true friend? Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass and don’t be late for an adventure familiar to anyone who actually survived middle school.

6 roles
Greg’s put-upon father, who possesses an interest in U.S. history and a deep distrust of teenagers. Uncomfortable speaking with tweens, Frank is always trying to toughen Greg up and get him to “go be active,” perhaps in an effort to keep his son from following in his own wimpy footsteps. Strong, comedic performer and singer
Greg’s chipper, loving, and overly-supportive mother, Susan is a former Pre-school teacher who is constantly looking for “teachable moments” with her boys. Though she always sees the best in her kids (sometimes blinding her to reality), she is also quick to become the household disciplinarian when necessary. Strong, comedic performer and singer.
Faculty advisor of the school’s ‘Safety Patrol.’ He takes his job super seriously, as though he’s head of the FBI or Special Ops.
35 yr old unemployed rocker dude who still lives with his folks and plays in Rodrick’s high school band, Löded Diper. Strong, comedic performer and singer.
Greg’s no-nonsense English teacher. Loves to host the Winter Talent Show every year.
A creepy, frail, and occasionally terrifying elderly woman. She could be a ghost. Strong, comedic performer and singer.
